Intro:
E Ab Dbm
A B E

E             Ab               Dbm
This is the first day of my life
A             B                 E
Swear I was born right in the doorway
E                   Ab                         Dbm
I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
                Gb7              B
They're spreading blankets on the beach

E              Ab                 Dbm
Yours is the first face that I saw
A             B              E
Think I was blind before I met you
E                    Ab                         Dbm
Don't know where I am, don't know where I've been
         Gb7              B
But I know where I want to go

   E           B       Dbm
So I thought I'd let you know
         A              B
That these things take forever
 E      E      Dbm
I especially am slow
    Dm                                                          E
But I realized how I need you and I wondered if I could come home 

Interlude:
B Dbm
Dm Fm Fm       

E                Ab                  Dbm
I remember the time you drove all night 
A         B              E
Just to meet me in the morning 
E                  Ab                            Dbm
I thought it was strange, you said everything changed 
          Gb7                 B
You felt as if you'd just woke up 

           E             Ab               Dbm
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             Ab                   Dbm
Now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you,
      Gb7            B
And I'd probably be happy."

        E       B       Dbm
So if you want to be with me 
         A                 B
With these things there's no telling 
         E       E         Dbm
We'll just have to wait and see
                Dm                                                     E
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck than waiting to win the lottery 

Ab Dbm

          Dm                                                            E
Besides, maybe this time its different, I mean I really think you like me
