[Verse 1] CE7Am This is the first day of my life FGC Swear I was born right in the doorway CE7Am I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed D7GG7 They're spreading blankets on the beach
CE7Am Yours is the first face that I saw FGC Think I was blind before I met you CE7Am Don't know where I am, don't know where I've been D7GG7 But I know where I want to go
[Chorus] CGAm So I thought I'd let you know FG That these things take forever CC/BAm I especially am slow Dsus2C But I realized how I need you and I wondered if I could come home
[Instrumental] GAm Dsus2Fsus2Fsus2
[Verse 2] CE7Am I remember the time you drove all night FGC Just to meet me in the morning CE7Am I thought it was strange, you said everything changed D7GG7 You felt as if you'd just woke up CE7Am And you said, "This is the first day of my life. FGC I'm glad I didn't die before I met you. CE7Am Now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you, D7GG7 And I'd probably be happy."
[Chorus] CGAm So if you want to be with me FG With these things there's no telling CC/BAm We'll just have to wait and see Dsus2 But I'd rather be working for a paycheck C Than waiting to win the lottery
EAm Dsus2 Besides, maybe this time its different, C I mean I really think you like me
