[C#m] [A] [C#]
[G#] This is the first day of my life, [C#m] [A] think [B] I was born right [E] in the doorway.
I went out in the [G#m] rain, [C#m] everything changed, now they're spreading [F#] blankets out on the beach.
[E] It was the [G#] first place that I saw, [A] maybe I was [B] blind before I met [E] you.
I [E] don't know who I am, [G#] I don't know [C#m] how I've been, but I [F#] know where I want [B] to go.
So I thought I'd let [C#m]
these things [B] take forever, [E] I especially [C#m] am slow, [F#m] but I realize how much
I need you.
I just wonder can I still [E] come home.

[E] you [G#] remember the time that you [C#m] drove all night, [A] just [B] to come pick me up [E] in the morning.
But it [G#] sounded so strange, you said [C#m] everything had changed and you felt [F#] as if you had just [B] woken up.
[E] You said this [G#] is the first day of [C#m] my life, [A] just glad I [B] didn't die before [E] I met you.
But now I wouldn't [G#] care, I would go [C#m] anywhere with [C#] you.
[F#] I think I could be here, [B]
[B] so if you [E] wanna stick with [C#m] me.
[C#]
[F#m] With these things there's no [B] telling baby, we gotta wait and [C#m] see.
But I'd rather [F#m] be working for your patience, than be waiting for it so early.
[E] [G#] [C#m]
[C#] Besides [F#m] maybe this time is different, cause I'm really feeling lucky.
