Intro: D G D A Bm Gbm G D A
 
Verse 1:
 
D        A            D                 G
I don't get many things right the first time
   D            Bm          C  C
In fact, I am told that a lot
         A               A   
Now I know all the wrong turns,
       D                 G               D    Bm   Gbm  A
The stumbles and falls brought me here
 
Pre-Chorus:
Bm            G            Bm
And where was I before the day
                E                    A
That I first saw your lovely face
      Gbm          G  G
Now I see it every day
       D  A
And I know
 
Chorus:
       D  A
That I am
Bm  Gbm
I     am
G D A       D        A
I am the luckiest
 
Verse 2:
           D          A
What if I'd been born
D                 G
Fifty years before you
      D
In a house
           Bm                  C   C
On the street where you live
                 A       A   
Maybe I'd be outside
           D                  G
As you passed on your bike
            D      Bm    Gbm    A
Would I know?
 
Pre-Chorus:
Bm          G             Bm
And in a wide sea of eyes
         E              A        Gbm     G   Gsus2   G
I see one pair that I recognize
      D   A
And I know
 
Chorus:
        D  A
That I am
Bm  Gbm
I     am
G D A       D        A
I am the luckiest
 
Bridge:
Em                            Bm
I love you more than I have
     Bm                     D     G    D   A
Ever found a way to say to you
 
Verse 3:
        D
Next door
                A
There's an old man
       D               G
Who lived to his nineties
             D                Bm        C    C
And one day, passed away in his sleep
 

            A             A   
And his wife, she stayed
          D            G               D   Bm  Gbm  A
For a couple of days and passed away
 
Pre-Chorus:
Bm         G
I'm sorry, I know that's a 
Bm                  E                  A
Strange way to tell you that I know
       Gbm      G  G
We belong
       D A
That I know
 
Outro:
        D  A
That I am
