Lyrics and Music by Conor Oberst


Intro: 
  Eb G | Cm Cm Cm Cm7
  G#add9 Bb | Eb       } ×2

Eb            G               Cm   Cm7
This is the first day of my life,
G#            Bb                Eb
Swear I was born right in the doorway.
                   G
I went out in the rain,
                    Cm
Suddenly everything changed.
                  F7
They’re spreading blankets
         Bb  Bb7
On the beach.

Eb             G                Cm
Yours is the first face that I saw,
G#              Bb             Eb
I think I was blind before I met you.
                            G
And I don’t know where I am,
                         Cm
I don’t know where I’ve been,
           F7               Bb         
But I know where I want to go.

       Bb     Eb
   And so I thought
       Bb      Cm   Cm7
   I’d let you know,
              G#              Bb
   That these things take forever.
      Eb     G     Cm
   I especially am slow,
         Fm
   But I realize that I need you,
    Fmadd9                          Eb
   And I wondered if I could come home.

Instrumental: 
  Eb Gsus4 | Cm
  Fm Fmadd9 | G#m G#m G#m Bb6

Eb            G    
Remember the time
               Cm   Cm7  G#maj
You drove all night
          Bb
Just to meet me
        Eb               
In the morning?
                     G
And I thought it was strange,
                    Cm
You said everything changed.
            F7                 Bb Bb7
You felt as if you just woke up.

        Bb6  Eb
And you said:
               G    
“This is the first day
        Cm   Cm7  G#maj
Of my life.
                   Bb
I’m glad I didn’t die
           Eb              
Before I met you.
                 G
But now I don’t care,
                Cm
I could go anywhere with you,
        F7              Bb  Bb7  
And I’d probably be happy.”

              Eb   Bb       Cm   Cm7
   So if you wanna be with me,
           G#
   With these things
                    Bb
   There’s just no telling,
            Eb       G       Cm
   We just have to wait and see.
                      Fm
   But I’d rather be working
   For a paycheck,
   Fmadd9                       Gm7  Eb
   Than waiting to win the lottery,
       Gsus4    
   Ah-ha,
        Cm
   Mm-hmm.

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