[Intro]
C E7 Am F G C [x2]

[Verse 1]
C                E7                    Am
This is the first day of my life
F                      G                       C
Swear I was born right in the doorway
C                          E7                                      Am
I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
                          D7                     G            G7
They're spreading blankets on the beach

C                   E7                        Am
Yours is the first face that I saw
F                    G                    C
Think I was blind before I met you
C                                     E7                                       Am
Now I don't know where I am, I don't know where I've been
D7             G                      G7
But I know where I want to go

[Chorus]
              C               G         Am
And so I thought I'd let you know
         F                         G
Yeah these things take forever
    C       E         Am
I especially am slow
            Dmadd9
But I realized that I need you and I wondered if I could come home

[Instrumental]
C E7/B Am7 Dmadd9 Fm

[Verse 2]
C                     E7                         Am
Remember the time you drove all night
F           G                     C
Just to meet me in the morning
C                              E7                                         Am
And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed
                 D7                        G    G7
You felt as if you'd just woke up
                  C                    E7                    Am
And you said, "This is the first day of my life.
F                          G                  C
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you.
C                        E7                            Am
But now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you,
            D7                  G         G7
And I'd probably be happy."

[Chorus]
              C           G          Am
So if you want to be with me
        F                                  G
With these things there's no telling
            C          E            Am
We just have to wait and see
                          Dmadd9
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck

Than waiting to win the lottery

C E7/B Am7
                         Dmadd9
Besides, maybe this time it's different,
                                             C
I mean I really think you like me

[Outro]
E7/B Am7 Dm Fm
C E7/B Am7 Dmadd9 Fm
