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