Lyrics and Music by Conor Oberst


Intro: 
  G# C/G | Fm Fm Fm Fm7
  C#add9 Eb | G#         } ×2

G#            C/G             Fm   Fm7
This is the first day of my life,
C#            Eb                G#
Swear I was born right in the doorway.
                   C
I went out in the rain,
          C/E       Fm
Suddenly everything changed.
                  Bb7
They’re spreading blankets
         Eb  Eb7
On the beach.

G#             C/G              Fm
Yours is the first face that I saw,
C#              Eb             G#
I think I was blind before I met you.
                            C
And I don’t know where I am,
        C/E              Fm
I don’t know where I’ve been,
           Bb7              Eb Eb/F Eb/G
But I know where I want to go.

       Eb/Bb  G#
   And so I thought
       Eb      Fm   Fm7
   I’d let you know,
              C#              Eb
   That these things take forever.
      G#     C     Fm
   I especially am slow,
         Bbm
   But I realize that I need you,
    Bbmadd9                         G#
   And I wondered if I could come home.

Instrumental: 
  G# Csus4/G | Fm
  Bbm Bbmadd9 | C#m C#m C#m Eb6

G#            C/G
Remember the time
               Fm   Fm7  C#maj
You drove all night
          Eb
Just to meet me
        G#     G#/C G#/Eb G#
In the morning?
                     C
And I thought it was strange,
                    Fm
You said everything changed.
            Bb7                Eb Eb7
You felt as if you just woke up.

        Eb6  G#
And you said:
               C/G
“This is the first day
        Fm   Fm7  C#maj
Of my life.
                   Eb
I’m glad I didn’t die
           G#    G#/Eb G#/C G#
Before I met you.
                 C
But now I don’t care,
                Fm
I could go anywhere with you,
        Bb7             Eb  Eb7/Bb
And I’d probably be happy.”

              G#   Eb       Fm   Fm7
   So if you wanna be with me,
           C#
   With these things
                    Eb
   There’s just no telling,
            G#       C       Fm
   We just have to wait and see.
                      Bbm
   But I’d rather be working
   For a paycheck,
   Bbmadd9                      Cm7  G#
   Than waiting to win the lottery,
       Csus4/G
   Ah-ha,
        Fm
   Mm-hmm.

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