[Intro]
C E Am F G C, C E Am D7 G
[Verse 1]
C E Am
This is the first day of my life
F G C
I swear I was born right in the doorway
E Am
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed, they're spreading
D7 G
blankets on the beach
C E Am
Yours is the first face that I saw
F G C
I think I was blind before I met you
E Am
Now I dont know where I am I dont know where Ive been
D7 G
But I know where I want to go
[Refrain]
C G Am
And so I thought Id let you know
F G
That these things take forever
C B/C Am
I especially am slow
A#7
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home
C E Am A#7 C#7
[Verse 2]
C E Am
Remember the time you drove all night
F G C
Just to meet me in the morning
C E Am
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
D7 G
You felt as if you'd just woke up
C E Am
And you said this is the first day of my life
F G C
Im glad I didnt die before I met you
E Am
But now I dont care I could go anywhere with you
D7 G
And Id probably be happy
[Refrain]
C G Am
So if you want to be with me
F G
With these things theres no telling
C B/C Am
We just have to wait and see
A#7
But Id rather be working for a pay check
C E Am
Than waiting to win the lottery
A#7
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me
[Outro]
C E Am A#7 C#7 C
