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

           A             B        
Cause the way your name felt 
   C#m
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                    
Since the first night I saw your 
  C#m
smile
           A                    
Now I am standing here trying to 
  E
fight back tears
      B                        
As I watched you walk down that 
  B
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        
Cause somehow I knew then what I 
        A
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     
Your mama's passed out and I still
  E
 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     
Cause I know one day when you grow 
 E
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                    
Now I'm standing here trying to 
  E
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
