[Verse 1]
              A            E          C#m
Remember the first time I caught your eyes
A         B       C#m
- From across the bar
    E             A         E      C#m
It felt like the first time - in a long time
              B                B
I felt that spark light in my heart.

           A             B           C#m
Cause the way your name felt rolling off of my lips
         A             B      C#m
And the way your hand felt in mine
      A          E      C#m
I've never been good at reading signs
 B                     B
That all changed that night.


[Chorus]
           A                      E
Because I knew then, what I know now
           B                      C#m
Since the first night I saw your smile
           A                      E
Now I am standing here trying to fight back tears
      B                          B
As I watched you walk down that aisle.

         A                E
I thank God for every mistake
            B                C#m
And all the bad choices I've made
          A                E
Cause I think he had this planned
                B   B
And all worked out
       A              B                A
Cause somehow I knew then what I know now.

[Verse 2]
         A                    E
Here we are just a few short years
A         B       C#m   E
- Sitting in this room
      A                   C#m       E
Your mama's passed out and I still can't
   B                        B
Believe we brought life to you.

        A      B          C#m      E
As I'm holding - and I'm looking
      A                 C#m    E
I've taken every second in
      A       E           C#m      E
Cause I know one day when you grow up
   B                  B
I won't be your only man.


[Chorus]
           A                      E
Because I knew then, what I know now
          B                    C#m
You were meant to be my whole world
          A                      E
Now I'm standing here trying to fight back tears
      B                 B
As I give away my baby girl.

         A                E
I thank God for every mistake
             B               C#m
And all the bad choices I've made
          A                E
Cause I think he had this planned
                B    B
And all worked out
       A              B
Cause somehow I knew then
             A
What I know now

[Chorus]
           A                     E
Because I knew then what I know now
         B                  C#m
That my feelings I had were true
   A                   E
I never wished on any star
        B                    B
But I prayed to be saved by you

         A                E
I thank God for every mistake
             B               C#m
And all the bad choices I've made
          A                E
Cause I think he had this planned
                B    B
And all worked out


[Outro]
       A
Cause somehow I knew then
 B
Somehow I knew then
             A * C#m * A E C#m *
What I know now
     E       A * C#m * B
What I know now
