Intro:
F A7 Dm Bb C F x2

F           A7              Dm
This is the first day of my life
Bb            C                 F
I swear I was born right in the doorway
                  A7                       Dm
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
                  G7              C     C7
They're spreading blankets on the beach

F            A7                Dm
Yours is the first face that I saw
Bb            C              F
I think I was blind before I met you
                         A7
Now I dont know where I am
                        Dm 
I dont know where Ive been
           G7              C  C7 
But I know where I want to go

         F           A7      Dm 
And so I thought Id let you know
     Bb                C
That these things take forever
    F    A7     Dm     
I especially am slow
      Gm 
But I realize that I need you
      C                        F     A7 Dm Gm C7 C F
And I wondered if I could come home

F            A7                 Dm
Remember the time you drove all night
Bb      C              F
Just to meet me in the morning
                     A7                          Dm
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
    G7                         C
You felt as if youd just woke up
              F           A7              Dm
And you said this is the first day of my life
Bb                C                F      
Im glad I didnt die before I met you
                A7                 Dm
But now I dont care I could go anywhere with you
        G7          C      C7
And Id probably be happy
          F       A7      Dm
So if you want to be with me
     Bb                      C
With these things theres no telling
        F       A7       Dm
We just have to wait and see
        Gm                    
But Id rather be working for a paycheck
     C                  F      A7 Dm
Than waiting to win the lottery
Gm
Besides maybe this time is different
                               F  A7 Dm Gm C7 F A7 Dm Gm C7 F
I mean I really think you like me
