[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
