F G C  
  
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  
    Dminadd9                                                    C  
But I realized how I need you 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  
                Dminadd9                                             C  
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck than waiting to win the lottery   
  
B7   Am7 
  
          Dminadd9                                                      C  
Besides, maybe this time its different, I mean I really think you like me  
  
B7   Am7

C    B7 Am7  
Dminadd9   Caug5sus4  
C
