Luckiest Tab

Intro:               /   

Verse1:
                               
I don't get many things right the first time
                                            
in fact I am told that a lot.  Now I know all the wrong turns
                                         
the stumbles and falls brought me here

Chorus:
                                                        
And where was I before the day that I first saw your lovely face?
               
now I see it every day
                          /               
And I    know,    that I am,  I  am,  I am,    the luckiest

Verse 2:
                              
What if I'd been born 50 years before you
                                                    
in a house on the street where you live?  Maybe I'd be outside
                                         
as you pass on your bike would I know?

Chorus:
                                                        
   And in a wide sea of eyes, I'd see one pair that I'd recognize
                           /              
And I'd know,   that I am,  I   am,   I  am,    the luckiest

Bridge:
                                                      
  I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you.

Verse 3:
                                           
Next door there's an old man who lived to his 90's
                                          
and one day passed away in his sleep.  And his wife
                                              
she stayed for a couple of days and passed away.

Chorus:
                                                              
I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong.
                        /                    
That I know,   that I am,  I  am,  I  am,    the luckiest
