[B] [E]
This is [G#] the first day of my [C#m] life
[A] Maybe [B] I was born right in the [E] doorway.
I
Went out [G#m] in the rain suddenly [C#m] everything changed They're spreading
[F#] blankets on the [B] beach
[Em]
[E] [G#m] Yours is the first face that [C#m] I saw
[A] Maybe I was [B]
blind before I [E] met you.
[F#] [E] I don't know where I am.
[Fm] I don't know where [C#m] I've been
But I
[F#] Know where I'd like
[B] Go
So [E] I thought I'd let [C#m] you know
These things they [B] take forever [E] and I [G#] especially am [C#m] slow
But [F#m] I realized that I need you and I wondered if I could [E] come home
[G#]
[E]
[F#m]
[F]
[E] Do you [G#m] remember the time you drove [C#m] all night?
[A] Just to [G#m] come for me [E] in the morning
Yeah, and it sounded [G#] so strange.
You said [C#m] everything changed
You felt [F#] as if you had just woke [B] up
Then you [E] said
This is [G#] the first day of [C#m] my life
[A] I'm [G#m] glad I didn't die before I [E] met you
But now [G#] I wouldn't care I'd go [C#m] anywhere
with you and [F#] I think I'd be
[B] happy
So if [E] you want [B] to stick [C#m] with me
With these things, [B] there's no telling
[E] We'll just have [G#] to wait [C#m] and see
[E] But I'd rather be working [D#] for your paycheck [F#m] than waiting to win some [E] lottery
[D#] [E]
