[Intro]

C E7 Am   F G C   x2

 

[Verse 1]

C             E7              Am

This is the first day of my life

F             G                 C

Swear I was born right in the doorway

C                   E7                        Am

I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed

                D7              G        G7

They're spreading blankets on the beach

 

C              E7                Am

Yours is the first face that I saw

F             G              C

Think I was blind before I met you

C                        E7                          Am

Now I don't know where I am, I don't know where I've been

           D7              G      G7

But I know where I want to go

 

[Chorus]

         C           G       Am

And so I thought I'd let you know

      F                 G

Yeah, these things take forever

    C    E      Am

I especially am slow

        Dmadd9

But I realized that I need you and I wondered if I could come home

[Verse 2]

C            E7                 Am

Remember the time you drove all night

F        G             C

Just to meet me in the morning

C                    E7                           Am

And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed

            D7                 G     G7

You felt as if you'd just woke up

           C               E7              Am

And you said, "This is the first day of my life.

F                   G            C

I'm glad I didn't die before I met you.

C                E7                  Am

But now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you,

        D7            G        G7

And I'd probably be happy."

 

[Chorus]

          C     G       Am

So if you wanna be with me

     F                       G

With these things there's no telling

        C       E         Am

We just have to wait and see

                  Dmadd9

But I'd rather be working for a paycheck

 

Than waiting to win the lottery

 

C E7/B Am7

             Dmadd9

Besides, maybe this time it's different,

                                C

I mean I really think you like me
