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

   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 

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.

        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
