[Verse]
                         C#m    
This is the first day of my life
A         B                     E      
■ Swear I was born right in the doorway
              G#                G#7        C#m    
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
                  F#7             B    
They're spreading blankets on the beach
E                               C#m  
■ Yours was the first face that I saw
A           B                E        
■ I think I was blind before I met you


[Chorus]
                                               C#m      
And I don't know where I am I don't know where I've been
      F#7                  B 
But I know where I want to go
       E         B       C#m     
And so I thought I'd let you know
A                      B         E             C#m 
Yeah these things take forever I especially am slow
    F#m                       
But I realized that I need you
                               E   
And I wondered if I could come home
D#7 C#m7 F#m Am E

[Verse]
                            C#m      
Remember the time you drove all night
A B                      E      
■ Just to meet me in the morning
                                      C#m               
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
         F#7                   B7
You felt as if you'd just woke up
        E   
And you said
     G#                  C#m    
This is the first day of my life


[Chorus]
A            B                 E        
■ I'm glad I didn't die before I met you
                                C#m              
But now I don't care I could go anywhere with you
F#7                 B    
And I'd probably be happy
      E   B        C#m7   
So if you wanna be with me
C#m                       B         
With these things there's no telling
   E                 C#m    
We just have to wait and see
               F#m                      
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
                                E    D#7 C#m7 
Than waiting to win the lottery ahha ■   mmhmm
F#m                                 
Besides maybe this time is different
                               E 
I mean I really think you like me


[Outro]
