[Intro] E G#7 C#m A B E E G#7 C#m A B E
[Verse 1] E G#7 C#m This is the first day of my life A B E Swear I was born right in the doorway E 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 Think I was blind before I met you E G#7 C#m Now I don't know where I am, I don't know where I've been F#7 B B7 But I know where I want to go
[Chorus] E B C#m And so I thought I'd let you know A B That these things take forever E E/D# C#m I especially am slow F#sus2 E But I realized how I need you and I wondered if I could come home
[Instrumental] B C#m F#sus2 Asus2 Asus2
[Verse 2] E G#7 C#m Remember the time you drove all night A B E Just to meet me in the morning E G#7 C#m And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed F#7 B B7 You felt as if you'd just woke up E G#7 C#m C#m7 And you said this is the first day of my life A B E I'm glad I didn't die before I met you E G#7 C#m But now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you F#7 B B7 And I'd probably be happy
[Chorus] E B C#m So if you want to be with me A B With these things there's no telling E E/D# C#m We just have to wait and see F#sus2 But I'd rather be working for a paycheck E Than waiting to win the lottery G# C#m F#sus2 Besides, maybe this time it's different, E I mean I really think you like me
[Outro] G#7 C#m F#sus2 Asus2 Asus2 E G#7 C#m F#sus2 Asus2 Asus2 E
