C E7 Am   F G C   x2
 
[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 that I need you and I wondered if I could come home

[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
