Verse: EG#7Cm This is the first day of my life ABE I swear I was born right in the doorway EG#7Cm I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed F#mB7 They're spreading blankets on the beach EG#7C#m Yours is the first face that I saw ABE I think I was blind before I met you E Now I don't know where I am G#7C#m I don't know where I've been F#mB7 But I know where I want to go EG#7C#m And so I thought I'd let you know AB That these things take forever EG#7C#m I especially am slow F#mF#m But I realize that I need you EG#7C#mF#mAm And I wondered if I could come home EG#7C#m Remember the time you drove all night ABE Just to meet me in the morning EG#7C#m And I thought it was strange you said everything changed F#mB7 You felt as if you had just woke up EG#7C#m And you said "this is the first day of my life ABE I'm glad I didn't die before I met you EG#7C#m But now I don't care I could go anywhere with you F#mB7 And I'd probably be happy"? EG#7C#m So if you want to be with me AB With these things there's no telling EG#7C#m We just have to wait and see F#m But I'd rather be working for a paycheck EG#7C#m Than waiting to win the lottery F#m Besides maybe this time is different EG#7C#mF#mAmEG#7C#mF#mAmE I mean I really think you like meeeeeeeee
