Instrumental:
C Dm Am7 F Dm F G C
Verse 1:
C G Am
This is the first day of my life
F G 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 G Am
Yours is the first face that I saw
F G C
Think I was blind before I met you
G
Don’t know where I am
Am
I don’t know where I’ve been
D7 G
But I know where I want to go
Chorus:
C G F
So
I thought I’d let you know
F G
Yeah, these things take forever
C F
Especially am slow
Dm
But I realize that I need you
G7 C G Am7
And I wondered if I could come home
Instrumental:
F Dm F G C
Verse 2:
C G Am
Remember the time you drove all night
F G C
Just to meet me in the mornin'?
C E Am
I thought it was strange, you said everything changed
D7 G
You felt as if you'd just woke up
C G Am
And you said “This is the first day of my life
F G C
Glad I didn’t die before I met you
E Am
But now
I don’t care; I could go anywhere with you
D7 G
And I’d probably be happy”
Chorus:
C G F
So if you wanna be with me
F G
With these things, there’s no tellin'
C F
We just have to wait and see
Dm
But I’d rather be workin' for a paycheck
G7 C G Am7
Than waiting to win the lottery
Dm
Besides, maybe this time is different
G7 C G Am7
I mean
I really think you like me
F
Mmm
Dm F G C
Mmm
