Lyrics and Music by Conor Oberst

Intro: 
  F# Bb | Ebm Ebm Ebm Ebm7
  Badd9 C# | F#             } ×2

F#            Bb              Ebm  Ebm7
This is the first day of my life,
B             C#                F#
Swear I was born right in the doorway.
                   Bb
I went out in the rain,
                    Ebm
Suddenly everything changed.
                  G#7
They’re spreading blankets
         C#  C#7
On the beach.

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

       C#     F#
   And so I thought
       C#      Ebm  Ebm7
   I’d let you know,
              B               C#
   That these things take forever.
      F#     Bb    Ebm
   I especially am slow,
         G#m
   But I realize that I need you,
    G#madd9                         F#
   And I wondered if I could come home.

Instrumental: 
  F# Bbsus4 | Ebm
  G#m G#madd9 | Bm Bm Bm C#6

F#            Bb   
Remember the time
               Ebm  Ebm7 Bmaj
You drove all night
          C#
Just to meet me
        F#               
In the morning?
                     Bb
And I thought it was strange,
                    Ebm
You said everything changed.
            G#7                C# C#7
You felt as if you just woke up.

        C#6  F#
And you said:
               Bb   
“This is the first day
        Ebm  Ebm7 Bmaj
Of my life.
                   C#
I’m glad I didn’t die
           F#              
Before I met you.
                 Bb
But now I don’t care,
                Ebm
I could go anywhere with you,
        G#7             C#  C#7  
And I’d probably be happy.”

              F#   C#       Ebm  Ebm7
   So if you wanna be with me,
           B
   With these things
                    C#
   There’s just no telling,
            F#       Bb      Ebm
   We just have to wait and see.
                      G#m
   But I’d rather be working
   For a paycheck,
   G#madd9                      Bbm7 F#
   Than waiting to win the lottery,
       Bbsus4   
   Ah-ha,
        Ebm
   Mm-hmm.

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