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