D        A              D                G 
I don't get many things right the first time 
 
    D             Bm          C     F#m(strum once)  C  
In fact, I am told that a lot

Now I know all the wrong turns,     
 
         D                   Bm                     F#m  A 
And stumbles and falls brought me here 
 
Bm                   G                 Bm 
And where was I before the day              
 
                 E                      A 
That I first saw your lovely face

What if I'd been born

Fifty years before you      
 
       D 
In a house      
 
          Bm                      C      F#m(strum once)  C 
On a street where you live

Maybe I'd be outside        
 
             D                       G 
As you passed on your bike

            E                A          F#m     G 
I'd see one pair that I recognize

And I'd know      
 
        D A  Bm 
That I am

I am 
 
G A        D          D   A

I love you more than I have      
 
         Bm                  D        G    D   A 
Ever found a way to say to you     
 
         D 
Next door            
 
                  A 
There's an old man

Bm                    E                   A 
Strange way to tell you that I know      
 
            F#m    G  G 
We belong
