[Intro] C  E  Am
        F  G  C

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
They're spreading blankets on the beach

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
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           E   Am
I especially am slow
    Dm2                                                    C
But I realized how I need you and I wondered if I could come home

( G  Am  Dm2  Fm2 )

C                E7                 Am
I remember the time you drove all night
F         G              C
Just to meet me in the morning
C                  E7                           Am
I thought it was strange, you said everything changed
          D7                 G
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
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       E      Am
We'll just have to wait and see
                Dm2                                               C
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck than waiting to win the lottery

( E  Am )

  C              Dm2                                                             
Besides, maybe this time its different

I mean I really think you like me
