Capo on 4th fret C E Am F G C C E Am This is the first day of my life F G C Swear I was born right in the doorway C E Am I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed D7 G They're spreading blankets on the beach C E Am Yours is the first face that I saw F G C Think I was blind before I met you C E Am Don't know where I am, don't know where I've been D7 G But I know where I want to go C G Am So I thought I'd let you know F G That these things take forever C C/B Am I especially am slow Dminadd9 C But I realized how I need you and I wondered if I could come home C B7 Amin7 Dminadd9 Caug5sus4 C E Am I remember the time you drove all night F G C Just to meet me in the morning C E Am 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 I'm glad I didn't die before I met you. C E Am Now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you, D7 G And I'd probably be happy." C G Am So if you want to be with me F G With these things there's no telling C C/B Am We'll just have to wait and see Dminadd9 C But I'd rather be working for a paycheck than waiting to win the lottery B7 Am7 Dminadd9 C Besides, maybe this time its different, I mean I really think you like me B7 Am7 Dminadd9 Caug5sus4 C B7 Am7 Dminadd9 Caug5sus4 C
