[Intro] C  E  Am 
        F  G  C

C             E               Am
This is the first day of my life
F             G                 C
Swear I was born right in the doorway
C                   E
I went out in the rain
                      Am
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
Don't know where I am
                        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
    D2
But I realized how I need you
                                C
And I wondered if I could come home

( E  Am  D2  F2 )

C                E                  Am
I remember the time you drove all night
F         G              C
Just to meet me in the morning
C                  E
I thought it was strange
                      Am
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
                D2
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
                            C   E  Am
Than waiting to win the lottery

          D2
Besides, maybe this time its different
                                C
I mean I really think you like me
