[G] [D] [A]
[D] I don't [A] get many [D] things right the [G] first time, in [D] fact [Bm] I am told [C] that a lot.
Now I [A] know all the wrong [D] turns and stumbles and falls brought me here.
[Bm] [F#m]
[A] [Bm] And where was [G] I before the [Bm] day that I [E] first saw your lovely [A] face?

[D] fifty [G] years before you in [D] a house on a [Bm] street where [C] you live?
