Verse 

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/C# 
Now I know all the wrong turns 
       D                 G                      D        Bm       F#m  A 
The 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 
      F#m          G  G 
Now I see it every day 
       D  A 
And I know 

       D  A 
That I am 
Bm  F#m 
I Am 
G D A       D             A 
I am the luckiest 

           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/C# 
Maybe I'd be outside 
           D                     G 
As you passed on your bike 
            D          Bm      F#m     A 
Would I know 

Bm          G             Bm 
And in a wide see of eyes 
         E         A          F#m        G   Gsus2   G 
I see one pair I recognize 

      D   A 
And I know 

        D  A 
That I am 
Bm  F#m 
I Am 
G D A       D             A 
I am the luckiest 


Em                                   Bm 
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 
       D               G 
Who lived to his nineties 
             D                Bm              C     C 
And one day passed away in his sleep 

            A             A/C# 
And his wife she stayed 
          D            G                         D   Bm  F#m  A 
For a couple of days and passed away 

Bm         G 
I'm sorry I know that's a 
Bm                  E                  A 
Strange way to tell you that I know 
       F#m      G  G 
We belong 
       D A 
That I know 

        D  A 
That I am 
Bm  F#m 
I Am 
G D A         Bm       F#m    G       D     A     D 
I am the luckiest
