EAbDbm This is the first day of my life
ABE Swear I was born right in the doorway
EAbDbm I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
Gb7B They're spreading blankets on the beach
EAbDbm Yours is the first face that I saw
ABE Think I was blind before I met you
EAbDbm Don't know where I am, don't know where I've been
Gb7B But I know where I want to go
EBDbm So I thought I'd let you know
AB That these things take forever
EEDbm I especially am slow
DmE But I realized how I need you and I wondered if I could come home
Interlude:
BDbm DmFmFm
EAbDbm I remember the time you drove all night
ABE Just to meet me in the morning
EAbDbm I thought it was strange, you said everything changed
Gb7B You felt as if you'd just woke up
EAbDbm And you said, "This is the first day of my life.
ABE I'm glad I didn't die before I met you.
EAbDbm Now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you,
Gb7B And I'd probably be happy."
EBDbm So if you want to be with me
AB With these things there's no telling
EEDbm We'll just have to wait and see
DmE But I'd rather be working for a paycheck than waiting to win the lottery
AbDbm
DmE Besides, maybe this time its different, I mean I really think you like me
