intro: C E Am F G C, C E Am D7 G.
CEAm
This is the first day of my life
FGC
I swear I was born right in the doorway
EAm
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed, they're spreading
D7G
blankets on the beach
CEAm
Yours is the first face that I saw
FGC
I think I was blind before I met you
EAm
Now I don?t know where I am I don?t know where I?ve been
D7G
But I know where I want to go
CGAm
And so I thought I?d let you know
FG
That these things take forever
CB/CAm
I especially am slow
A#7
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home
CEAAC#7CEAm
Remember the time you drove all night
FGC
Just to meet me in the morning
CEAm
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
D7G
You felt as if you'd just woke up
CEAm
And you said ?this is the first day of my life
FGC
I?m glad I didn?t die before I met you
EAm
But now I don?t care I could go anywhere with you
D7G
And I?d probably be happy?
CGAm
So if you want to be with me
FG
With these things there?s no telling
CB/CAm
We just have to wait and see
A#7
But I?d rather be working for a pay check
CAm
Than waiting to win the lottery
A#7
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me
