[Verse 1] EG#mC#mC#m This is the first day of my life ABEE Swear I was born right in the doorway EG#mC#m I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed C#mABEE They're spreading blankets on the beach
EG#mC#mC#m Yours is the first face that I saw ABEE Think I was blind before I met you EG#mC#m Don't know where I am, don't know where I've been C#mABEE But I know where I want to go
[Chorus] EG#mC#mC#m So I thought I'd let you know AB That these things take forever EG#mC#mC#m I especially am slow AF#mAF#mE But I realized how I need you and I wondered if I could come home
G#mC#mC#m ABEE
[Verse 2] EG#mC#mC#m I remember the time you drove all night ABEE Just to meet me in the morning EG#mC#m I thought it was strange, you said everything changed C#mABEE You felt as if you'd just woke up
EG#mC#mC#m And you said, "This is the first day of my life. ABEE I'm glad I didn't die before I met you. EG#mC#mC#m Now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you, ABEE And I'd probably be happy."
[Chorus] EG#mC#mC#m So if you want to be with me AB With these things there's no telling EG#mC#mC#m We'll just have to wait and see AF#mAF#mE But I'd rather be working for a paycheck than waiting to win the lottery
G#mC#mC#m
[Outro] AF#mAF#mE Besides, maybe this time its different, I mean I really think you like me
