Lyrics and Music by Conor Oberst

Intro: 
  C E/B | Am Am Am Am7
  Fadd9 G | C           } ×2

C             E/B             Am   Am7
This is the first day of my life,
F             G                 C
Swear I was born right in the doorway.
                   E
I went out in the rain,
          E/G#      Am
Suddenly everything changed.
                  D7
They’re spreading blankets
         G   G7
On the beach.

C              E/B              Am
Yours is the first face that I saw,
F               G              C
I think I was blind before I met you.
                            E
And I don’t know where I am,
        E/G#             Am
I don’t know where I’ve been,
           D7               G G/A  G/B
But I know where I want to go.

       G/D    C
   And so I thought
       G       Am   Am7
   I’d let you know,
              F               G
   That these things take forever.
      C      E     Am
   I especially am slow,
         Dm
   But I realize that I need you,
    Dmadd9                          C
   And I wondered if I could come home.

Instrumental: 
  C Esus4/B | Am
  Dm Dmadd9 | Fm Fm Fm G6

C             E/B
Remember the time
               Am   Am7  Fmaj
You drove all night
          G
Just to meet me
        C      C/E  C/G C
In the morning?
                     E
And I thought it was strange,
                    Am
You said everything changed.
            D7                 G  G7
You felt as if you just woke up.

        G6   C
And you said:
               E/B
“This is the first day
        Am   Am7  Fmaj
Of my life.
                   G
I’m glad I didn’t die
           C     C/G C/E  C
Before I met you.
                 E
But now I don’t care,
                Am
I could go anywhere with you,
        D7              G   G7/D
And I’d probably be happy.”

              C    G        Am   Am7
   So if you wanna be with me,
           F
   With these things
                    G
   There’s just no telling,
            C        E       Am
   We just have to wait and see.
                      Dm
   But I’d rather be working
   For a paycheck,
   Dmadd9                       Em7  C
   Than waiting to win the lottery,
       Esus4/B
   Ah-ha,
        Am
   Mm-hmm.

   Besides,
      Dm
   Maybe this time it’s different,
                                  G C
   I mean I really think you like me.
