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