Lyrics and Music by Conor Oberst

Intro: 
  C# F/C | Bbm Bbm Bbm Bbm7
  F#add9 G# | C#             } ×2

C#            F/C             Bbm  Bbm7
This is the first day of my life,
F#            G#                C#
Swear I was born right in the doorway.
                   F
I went out in the rain,
          F/A       Bbm
Suddenly everything changed.
                  Eb7
They’re spreading blankets
         G#  G#7
On the beach.

C#             F/C              Bbm
Yours is the first face that I saw,
F#              G#             C#
I think I was blind before I met you.
                            F
And I don’t know where I am,
        F/A              Bbm
I don’t know where I’ve been,
           Eb7              G# G#/Bb G#/C
But I know where I want to go.

       G#/Eb  C#
   And so I thought
       G#      Bbm  Bbm7
   I’d let you know,
              F#              G#
   That these things take forever.
      C#     F     Bbm
   I especially am slow,
         Ebm
   But I realize that I need you,
    Ebmadd9                         C#
   And I wondered if I could come home.

Instrumental: 
  C# Fsus4/C | Bbm
  Ebm Ebmadd9 | F#m F#m F#m G#6

C#            F/C
Remember the time
               Bbm  Bbm7 F#maj
You drove all night
          G#
Just to meet me
        C#     C#/F C#/G# C#
In the morning?
                     F
And I thought it was strange,
                    Bbm
You said everything changed.
            Eb7                G# G#7
You felt as if you just woke up.

        G#6  C#
And you said:
               F/C
“This is the first day
        Bbm  Bbm7 F#maj
Of my life.
                   G#
I’m glad I didn’t die
           C#    C#/G# C#/F C#
Before I met you.
                 F
But now I don’t care,
                Bbm
I could go anywhere with you,
        Eb7             G#  G#7/Eb
And I’d probably be happy.”

              C#   G#       Bbm  Bbm7
   So if you wanna be with me,
           F#
   With these things
                    G#
   There’s just no telling,
            C#       F       Bbm
   We just have to wait and see.
                      Ebm
   But I’d rather be working
   For a paycheck,
   Ebmadd9                      Fm7  C#
   Than waiting to win the lottery,
       Fsus4/C
   Ah-ha,
        Bbm
   Mm-hmm.

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