Dmadd9 xx3230 [Intro] 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
Yeah, these things take forever

    C    E      Am
I especially am slow

        Dmadd9
But I realized that I need you and I wondered if I could come home
[Instrumental] C E7/B Am7 Dmadd9 Fm [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 wanna be with me

     F                       G
With these things there's no telling

        C       E         Am
We just have to wait and see

                  Dmadd9
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery C E7/B Am7
             Dmadd9
Besides, maybe this time it's different,

                                C
I mean I really think you like me
[Outro] E7/B Am7 Dmadd9 Fm C E7/B Am7 Dmadd9 Fm C
