C            E7              Am
 This is the first day of my life
F              G                 C
 I 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
 I think I was blind before I met you
C                         E7
 Now I don’t know where I am
                       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       C
 That these things take forever
C    E7          Am
 I especially am slow
      F
But I realize that I need you
      G                       (C)
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 wanna be with me
F           G                  C
 With these things, there’s no telling
C        E7               Am
 We just have to wait and see
        F
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
     G                       C   E7  Am
Than waiting to win the lottery
         F
Besides, maybe this time is different?
          G                    (C)
I mean, I really think you like me
