Lyrics and Music by Conor Oberst


Intro: 
  Bb D | Gm Gm Gm Gm7
  Ebadd9 F | Bb        } ×2

Bb            D               Gm   Gm7
This is the first day of my life,
Eb            F                 Bb
Swear I was born right in the doorway.
                   D
I went out in the rain,
                    Gm
Suddenly everything changed.
                  C7
They’re spreading blankets
         F   F7
On the beach.

Bb             D                Gm
Yours is the first face that I saw,
Eb              F              Bb
I think I was blind before I met you.
                            D
And I don’t know where I am,
                         Gm
I don’t know where I’ve been,
           C7               F          
But I know where I want to go.

       F      Bb
   And so I thought
       F       Gm   Gm7
   I’d let you know,
              Eb              F
   That these things take forever.
      Bb     D     Gm
   I especially am slow,
         Cm
   But I realize that I need you,
    Cmadd9                          Bb
   And I wondered if I could come home.

Instrumental: 
  Bb Dsus4 | Gm
  Cm Cmadd9 | Ebm Ebm Ebm F6

Bb            D    
Remember the time
               Gm   Gm7  Ebmaj
You drove all night
          F
Just to meet me
        Bb               
In the morning?
                     D
And I thought it was strange,
                    Gm
You said everything changed.
            C7                 F  F7
You felt as if you just woke up.

        F6   Bb
And you said:
               D    
“This is the first day
        Gm   Gm7  Ebmaj
Of my life.
                   F
I’m glad I didn’t die
           Bb              
Before I met you.
                 D
But now I don’t care,
                Gm
I could go anywhere with you,
        C7              F   F7   
And I’d probably be happy.”

              Bb   F        Gm   Gm7
   So if you wanna be with me,
           Eb
   With these things
                    F
   There’s just no telling,
            Bb       D       Gm
   We just have to wait and see.
                      Cm
   But I’d rather be working
   For a paycheck,
   Cmadd9                       Dm7  Bb
   Than waiting to win the lottery,
       Dsus4    
   Ah-ha,
        Gm
   Mm-hmm.

   Besides,
      Cm
   Maybe this time it’s different,
                                  F Bb
   I mean I really think you like me.
