C E7 Am This is the first day of my life F G C Swear I was born right in the doorway C E7 Am I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed D7 G G7 They're spreading blankets on the beach
C E7 Am Yours is the first face that I saw F G C Think I was blind before I met you C E7 Am Now I don't know where I am, I don't know where I've been D7 G G7 But I know where I want to go
C G Am And so I thought I'd let you know F G Yeah, these things take forever C E Am I especially am slow Dmadd9 But I realized that I need you and I wondered if I could come home

C E7 Am Remember the time you drove all night F G C Just to meet me in the morning C E7 Am And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed D7 G G7 You felt as if you'd just woke up C E7 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 E7 Am But now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you, D7 G G7 And I'd probably be happy."
C G Am So if you wanna be with me F G With these things there's no telling C E Am We just have to wait and see Dmadd9 But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
C E7/B Am7 Dmadd9 Besides, maybe this time it's different, C I mean I really think you like me
