This is [D#] the first day [C#m] of my life
[A]
Swear, [B] I was born right in [E] the doorway.
I
Went out [G#] in the rain suddenly [C#m] everything changed.
They're spreading
[F#] blankets on [B] the beach
[E]
[G#] Yours is the first face that [C#m] I saw I [A] think I [B] was blind before I [E] met you
And I don't [G#] know where I am.
I don't know [C#m] where I've been but I
[F#] Know where I want to [B] go
And [F#]
so I thought I'd let [C#m] you know
[A] Yeah, these things take [B] forever.
[E] I
especially [C#m] am slow
But [F#m] I realized that I need you and I wondered if I could [E] come home
[D#] [C#m]
[F#m]
[Am] [E]
Remember the [G#] time you drove [C#m] all night just
[A] [B] To meet me in [E] the morning
And I thought it [G#] was strange you said [C#m] everything changed you felt [F#] as if you just [B] woke up
And you [E] said this [G#] is the first day of [C#m] my life
I'm [A] glad I [B] didn't die before [E] I met you
But [G#] now I don't care.
I could go [C#m] anywhere with you [F#] and I probably be happy
[B]
So if you [B] wanna be [C#m] with me
[A] These things there's [B] no telling we just have [G#] to wait [C#m] and see
But I'd rather be [F#] working for a paycheck [F#m] than [F#] waiting to win the lottery
[E] [D#]
[C#m] Besides [F#m]
maybe this time is different.
I mean, I really think you [B] like me
[D#] [C#m]
[F#m]
[Am] You
[E] [D#] [C#m]
[F#m] [Am]
