Intro: 
  F A | Dm Dm Dm Dm7
  Bbadd9 C | F        } ×2

F             A               Dm   Dm7
This is the first day of my life,
Bb            C                 F
Swear I was born right in the doorway.
                   A
I went out in the rain,
                    Dm
Suddenly everything changed.
                  G7
They’re spreading blankets
         C   C7
On the beach.

F              A                Dm
Yours is the first face that I saw,
Bb              C              F
I think I was blind before I met you.
                            A
And I don’t know where I am,
                         Dm
I don’t know where I’ve been,
           G7               C          
But I know where I want to go.

       C      F
   And so I thought
       C       Dm   Dm7
   I’d let you know,
              Bb              C
   That these things take forever.
      F      A     Dm
   I especially am slow,
         Gm
   But I realize that I need you,
    Gmadd9                          F
   And I wondered if I could come home.

Instrumental: 
  F Asus4 | Dm
  Gm Gmadd9 | Bbm Bbm Bbm C6

F             A    
Remember the time
               Dm   Dm7  Bbmaj
You drove all night
          C
Just to meet me
        F                
In the morning?
                     A
And I thought it was strange,
                    Dm
You said everything changed.
            G7                 C  C7
You felt as if you just woke up.

        C6   F
And you said:
               A    
“This is the first day
        Dm   Dm7  Bbmaj
Of my life.
                   C
I’m glad I didn’t die
           F               
Before I met you.
                 A
But now I don’t care,
                Dm
I could go anywhere with you,
        G7              C   C7   
And I’d probably be happy.”

              F    C        Dm   Dm7
   So if you wanna be with me,
           Bb
   With these things
                    C
   There’s just no telling,
            F        A       Dm
   We just have to wait and see.
                      Gm
   But I’d rather be working
   For a paycheck,
   Gmadd9                       Am7  F
   Than waiting to win the lottery,
       Asus4    
   Ah-ha,
        Dm
   Mm-hmm.

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