C E Am F G C
[Verse 1]
C E Am
This is the first day of my life
F G C
Swear I was born right in the doorway
C E Am
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
D7 G
They're spreading blankets on the beach
C E Am
Yours is the first face that I saw
F G C
Think I was blind before I met you
C E Am
Don't know where I am don't know where I've been
D7 G
But I know where I want to go
[Chorus]
C G Am
So I thought I'd let you know
F G
That these things take forever
C C/B Am
I especially am slow
Dsus2
But I realized how I need you
C E Am Dsus2 Fsus2 Fsus2
and I wondered if I could come home
[Verse 2]
C E Am
I remember the time you drove all night
F G C
Just to meet me in the morning
C E Am
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
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you
C E Am
Now I don't care I could go anywhere with you
D7 G
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'll just have to wait and see
Dsus2
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
C E Am
Than waiting to win the lottery
Dsus2
Besides maybe this time its different
C
I mean I really think you like me
