Verse 1:
D A Bm G
I don't get many things right the first time
D Bm G* A A7
In fact, I am told, that alot, now I know, all the wrong turns
Bm G D Bm F#m A
The stumbles, and falls, brought me here
Chorus:
Bm G Bm E
And where was I before the day I first saw
A D G*
Your lovely face, now I see it every day
D A D A Bm F#m G D A D A
And I know, that I am, I am, I am, the luckiest
D G D A
Verse 2:
D A Bm G
What if I'd been born 50 years before you
D Bm G* A A7
In a house on the street where you live, Maybe I'd be outside
Bm G D Bm F#m A
As you passed on your bike, would I know,
Chorus:
Bm G Bm E A D G*
And then oh, I'd see your eyes as the one pair that I recognize
D A D A Bm F#m G D A D A
And I know, that I am, I am, I am the luckiest
Bridge:
Bm E D G D A
I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you
Verse 3:
D A Bm G
Next door, there's an old man who lived to his 90's

And one day passed away in his sleep, and his wife
A7 Bm G D Bm F#m A
She stayed around for a couple of days and passed away
Chorus:
Bm G Bm E A
I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know
D G* D A D A Bm F#m G D A Bm F#m G D A D
We belong, that I know, that I am, I am, I am, the luckiest
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BEN FOLDS FIVE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
