xintro : C E Am F G C , C E Am D7 G .
C E Am
this is the first day of my life
F G C
i swear i was born right in the doorway
E Am
i went out in the rain suddenly everything changed , they’re spreading
D7 G
blankets on the beach
C E Am
yours is the first face that i saw
F G C
i think i was blind before i met you
E Am
now i dont know where i Am i dont know where ive been
D7 G
but i know where i want to go
C G Am
and so i thought id let you know
F G
that these things take forever
C B/C Am
i especially Am slow
A#7
but i realize that i need you
and i wondered if i could come home
C E Am A#7 C#7
C E Am
remember the time you drove all night
F G C
just to meet me in the morning
C E Am
and i thought it was strange you said everything changed
D7 G
you felt as if you’d just woke up
C E Am
and you said this is the first day of my life
F G C
im glad i didnt die before i met you
E Am
but now i dont care i could go anywhere with you
D7 G
and id probably be happy
C G Am
so if you want to be with me
F G
with these things theres no telling
C B/C Am
we just have to wait and see
A#7
but id rather be working for a pay check
C E Am
than waiting to win the lottery
A#7
besides maybe this time is different
i mean i really think you like me
C E Am A#7 C#7 C
