Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]The only time I've seen
you was [C]about a year [G]ago
I was afraid to hold you but I
[C]wanted you to [G]know
[D]I touched your tiny per[C]fect
[D]hand before I went uptown
[C]I did[G]n't pick you up because I'd
[C]have to put you[D] dow[G]n

[Verse 2]
[G]For reasons that don't make much sense
[C]and you won't un[G]derstand
I've stayed away for your first year
[C]it's sort of what I [G]planned
[D]But I've been in your neigh[C]bourhood
[D]sometimes just blocks awa[C]y
I [G]didn't come to visit [C]you because
[D]I couldn't s[G]tay

[Verse 3]
There [Am]was a baby o[C]n a plane
[D]maybe she was two[G]
And [Am]she was smiling [C]at me [D]I
was not sure what to [G]do
I've [D]kept my distance from [C]you[D]
a year's much more [C]than a while
And [G]so I looked [C]away from her
too [D]ashamed [G]to smile

[Verse 4]
When [G]I saw you last [C]year,
I [G]knew [C]that there was no mis[G]take
Amazing things can hap[C]pen [G]why
[C]just look what life can mak[G]e
[D]But life can get so hard [C]sometimes[D]
some feelings can't be [C]tamed
And [G]people get so [C]angry[G][C][G]
[C]fri[D]ghtened and ash[G]amed

[Verse 5]
You've [G]been a sort of secret for a
[C]year I've told [G]but few
Although [C]where [G]you [C]are [G]so[C]
many must love [G]you
[D]And I've passed by your win[C]dow
[D]but haven't dared look in[C]
Al[G]though I know I'd love you too,
[C]I'm too [D]scared to be[G]gin
