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