[Intro 2x]
C E7 Am F G C
[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
That these things take forever
C C/B Am
I especially am slow
Dsus2 C
But I realized how I need you and I wondered if I could come home
[Instrumental]

[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 C/B Am
We just have to wait and see
Dsus2
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
C
Than waiting to win the lottery
E Am
Dsus2
Besides, maybe this time it's different,
C
I mean I really think you like me
