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