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
    Dminsus2                                                    C
But I realized how I need you and I wondered if I could come home 

G Am
Dminsus2 Fminsus2 Fminsus2?

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
                Dminsus2                                               C
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck than waiting to win the lottery 

E Am

          Dminsus2                                                      C
Besides, maybe this time its different, I mean I really think you like me

E Am
Dminsus2 Fminsus2 Fminsus2?

Sing along

This is the first day of my life
Swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach

Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don't know where I am
I don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go

And so I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said "this is the first day of my life
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you
But now I don't care I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy"

So if you want to be with me
With these things there's no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me
