Intro
[C] [E7] [Am] [F] [G] [C]
Verse 1
[C]This is the [E7]first day of my [Am]life
[F]Swear I was [G]born right in the [C]doorway
[C]I went out in the [E7]rain, suddenly everything [Am]changed
They're [D7]spreading blankets on [G]the beach[G7]
[C]Yours is the [E7]first face that I [Am]saw
[F]Think I was [G]blind before I [C]met you
[C]Now I don't know where I [E7]am, I don't know where I've [Am]been
But I know [D7]where I want to [G]go[G7]
Chorus
And so I [C]thought I'd [G]let you [Am]know
Yeah, [F]these things take [G]forever
I [C][E]especially am [Am]slow
But I [Dmadd9]realized that I need you and I wondered if I could come home
Instrumental
[C] [E7/B] [Am7] [Dmadd9] [Fm]
Verse 2
[C]Remember the [E7]time you drove all [Am]night
[F]Just to [G]meet me in the [C]morning
[C]And I thought it was [E7]strange, you said everything [Am]changed
You felt as [D7]if you'd just woke [G]up[G7]
And you [C]said, "This is the [E7]first day of my [Am]life.
[F]I'm glad I didn't [G]die before I [C]met you.
[C]But now I don't [E7]care, I could go [Am]anywhere with you,
And I'd [D7]probably be [G]happy."[G7]
Chorus
So if you [C]wanna [G]be with [Am]me
With [F]these things there's no [G]telling
We just [C]have to [E]wait and [Am]see
But I'd rather be [Dmadd9]working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
[C] [E7/B] [Am7]
Besides, [Dmadd9]maybe this time it's different,
I mean I really think you like [C]me
Outro
