Intro:
E G#7 C#m A B E x2

E           G#7              C#m
This is the first day of my life
A            B                 E
I swear I was born right in the doorway
                  G#7                       C#m
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
                  F#7              B     B7
They're spreading blankets on the beach

E            G#7                C#m
Yours is the first face that I saw
A            B              E
I think I was blind before I met you
                         G#7
Now I dont know where I am
                        C#m 
I dont know where Ive been
           F#7              B  B7 
But I know where I want to go

         E           G#7      C#m 
And so I thought Id let you know
     A                B
That these things take forever
    E    G#7     C#m     
I especially am slow
      F#m 
But I realize that I need you
      B                        E     G#7 C#m F#m B7 B E
And I wondered if I could come home

E            G#7                 C#m
Remember the time you drove all night
A      B              E
Just to meet me in the morning
                     G#7                          C#m
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
    F#7                         B
You felt as if youd just woke up
              E           G#7              C#m
And you said this is the first day of my life
A                B                E      
Im glad I didnt die before I met you
                G#7                 C#m
But now I dont care I could go anywhere with you
        F#7          B      B7
And Id probably be happy
          E       G#7      C#m
So if you want to be with me
     A                      B
With these things theres no telling
        E       G#7       C#m
We just have to wait and see
        F#m                    
But Id rather be working for a paycheck
     B                  E      G#7 C#m
Than waiting to win the lottery
F#m
Besides maybe this time is different
                               E  G#7 C#m F#m B7 E G#7 C#m F#m B7 E
I mean I really think you like me
