This is the first day of my life
F

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
Dsus2

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

I remember the time you drove all night
F

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
Dsus2
C
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck than waiting to win the lottery
E
Am
Dsus2
C
Besides, maybe this time its different, I mean I really think you like me
