[Intro]
C E7 Am   F G C   x2
[Strophe]
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
[Strophe]
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
[Refrain]
         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
[Instrumentale]

[Strophe]
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
[Strophe]
           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."
[Refrain]
          C       G       Am 
So if you want to 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

             Dmadd9 
Besides, maybe this time it's different, 
                                C 
I mean I really think you like me
