[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
[Instrumental]
| A | E | B | C#m |

[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
