Lyrics and Music by Conor Oberst

Intro: 
  B Eb/Bb | G#m G#m G#m G#m7
  Eadd9 F# | B                } ×2

B             Eb/Bb           G#m  G#m7
This is the first day of my life,
E             F#                B
Swear I was born right in the doorway.
                   Eb
I went out in the rain,
          Eb/G      G#m
Suddenly everything changed.
                  C#7
They’re spreading blankets
         F#  F#7
On the beach.

B              Eb/Bb            G#m
Yours is the first face that I saw,
E               F#             B
I think I was blind before I met you.
                            Eb
And I don’t know where I am,
        Eb/G             G#m
I don’t know where I’ve been,
           C#7              F# F#/G# F#/Bb
But I know where I want to go.

       F#/C#  B
   And so I thought
       F#      G#m  G#m7
   I’d let you know,
              E               F#
   That these things take forever.
      B      Eb    G#m
   I especially am slow,
         C#m
   But I realize that I need you,
    C#madd9                         B
   And I wondered if I could come home.

Instrumental: 
  B Ebsus4/Bb | G#m
  C#m C#madd9 | Em Em Em F#6

B             Eb/Bb
Remember the time
               G#m  G#m7 Emaj
You drove all night
          F#
Just to meet me
        B      B/Eb B/F# B
In the morning?
                     Eb
And I thought it was strange,
                    G#m
You said everything changed.
            C#7                F# F#7
You felt as if you just woke up.

        F#6  B
And you said:
               Eb/Bb
“This is the first day
        G#m  G#m7 Emaj
Of my life.
                   F#
I’m glad I didn’t die
           B     B/F# B/Eb B
Before I met you.
                 Eb
But now I don’t care,
                G#m
I could go anywhere with you,
        C#7             F#  F#7/C#
And I’d probably be happy.”

              B    F#       G#m  G#m7
   So if you wanna be with me,
           E
   With these things
                    F#
   There’s just no telling,
            B        Eb      G#m
   We just have to wait and see.
                      C#m
   But I’d rather be working
   For a paycheck,
   C#madd9                      Ebm7 B
   Than waiting to win the lottery,
       Ebsus4/Bb
   Ah-ha,
        G#m
   Mm-hmm.

   Besides,
      C#m
   Maybe this time it’s different,
                                  F# B
   I mean I really think you like me.
