Swear I
B was born right in

I _ went out in

There's spreading
F# _ blankets on
B the beach.
_ _ _
E _ .
Yours is

I _ .
A _ think
B I was blind before

_ _ _ 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.

A _ Just
B to meet me in

_ 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.
