This is the first day of my life
F
G
C
Swear I was born right in the doorway
C
E7
Am
I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
D7
G
G7
They're spreading blankets on the beach
C
E7
Am
Yours is the first face that I saw
F
G
C
Think I was blind before I met you
C
E7
Am
Now I don't know where I am, I don't know where I've been
D7
G
G7
But I know where I want to go
C
G
Am
And so I thought I'd let you know

Am
I especially am slow

But I realized that I need you and I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
F
G
C
Just to meet me in the morning
C
E7
Am
And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed
D7
G
G7
You felt as if you'd just woke up
C

Am
And you said, "This is the first day of my life.
F

I'm glad I didn't die before I met you.
C
E7
Am
But now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you,
D7
G
G7
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
E
Am
We just have to wait and see
Dm9
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
