[E] [G#] [C#m]

[G#] [C#m] [E]
[A] [B] [E]
[G#] This is the first day of [C#m] my life, [A] I swear I [B] was born right in [E] the doorway
I went out in [G#] the rain, suddenly [C#m] everything changed, they're spreading
[F#] blankets on the [B] beach
[E] Yours is [G#] the first face that I [C#m] saw
I
[A] think [B] I was blind before [E] I met you
And I don't know where [G#] I am, I don't know where [C#m] I've been, but I
[F#] Know where I want [B] to go
And so I [E] thought [B] I'd [C#m] let you know
[Bm] Yeah, [A] these things [B] take forever
I [E] [G#] especially [C#m] am slow, but [F#m] I realized that I need you and I wondered if I could [E] come home
[D#] [C#m]
Remember [F#m]
[Am] [E]
[G#] the time you drove [C#m] all night just [B]
[A] [B] to meet me [E] in the morning
And I thought [G#] it was strange you said [C#m] everything changed you felt
[F#] As if you just woke [B] up
And you [E] said this is [G#] the first day [C#m] of my life
I'm [B] [A] glad [B] I didn't die before [E] I met you
But now [G#] I don't care I could go [C#m] anywhere with you and [F#] I'd probably be [B] happy
So if [E] you wanna [B] be with [C#m] me
[B] [A] These things there's [B] no telling we [E] just have [G#] to [C#m] wait and see
But [F#m] I'd rather be [F#] working for a paycheck than waiting to win the [E] lottery
[D#]
[C#m] Besides [F#m] maybe this time is different.
I mean, [F#] I really think you [Em] like me
[D#] [C#m] [F#m]
[Am] [E]
[D#] [C#m]
[F#m] [Am]
[D#m] [E]
