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
      A
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
      F#m          G    F#m  G
Now I see it every day

And I know

In a house

On a street where you live
      
      A      
Maybe I'd be outside
       D              G
As you passed on your bike
        F#m    A
Would I know?

Bm       G           Bm
And In a wide see of eyes
        E             A      F#m     G
I'd See one pair that I recognize

And I'd know

And his wife, she stayed

For a couple of days and passed away

             G
I'm sorry, I know that's a

Strange way to tell you that I know

We belong
