I don't get many things right the first time,
G Em / F - - G / F - - - /
In fact I am told that a lot.
D D7 G C
Now I know all the wrong turns, and stumbles and falls brought me
G Em Bm D
here.
Em C
And where was I before the
Em A
day that I first saw your lovely
D Bm / C - - D / C - - - /
face Now I see it every day
G / D - - D7 / (ritard)
And I know

Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties and one
G Em / F - - G / F - - - /
day, passed away in his sleep.
D D7 G C
And his wife, she stayed for a couple of days,
G Em Bm D
And passed away.
Em C
I'm sorry, I know that's a
Em A
strange way to tell you that I
D Bm / C - - D / C - - - /
know we belong,
G / D - - D7 / (ritard)
And I know
Chorus 2:
G D
That I am,
Em Bm
I am,
C / Dsus4 - D - / (ritard)
I am,
