Lyrics and Music by Conor Oberst


Intro: 
  G B | Em Em Em Em7
  Cadd9 D | G         } ×2

G             B               Em   Em7
This is the first day of my life,
C             D                 G
Swear I was born right in the doorway.
                   B
I went out in the rain,
                    Em
Suddenly everything changed.
                  A7
They’re spreading blankets
         D   D7
On the beach.

G              B                Em
Yours is the first face that I saw,
C               D              G
I think I was blind before I met you.
                            B
And I don’t know where I am,
                         Em
I don’t know where I’ve been,
           A7               D          
But I know where I want to go.

       D      G
   And so I thought
       D       Em   Em7
   I’d let you know,
              C               D
   That these things take forever.
      G      B     Em
   I especially am slow,
         Am
   But I realize that I need you,
    Amadd9                          G
   And I wondered if I could come home.

Instrumental: 
  G Bsus4 | Em
  Am Amadd9 | Cm Cm Cm D6

G             B    
Remember the time
               Em   Em7  Cmaj
You drove all night
          D
Just to meet me
        G                
In the morning?
                     B
And I thought it was strange,
                    Em
You said everything changed.
            A7                 D  D7
You felt as if you just woke up.

        D6   G
And you said:
               B    
“This is the first day
        Em   Em7  Cmaj
Of my life.
                   D
I’m glad I didn’t die
           G               
Before I met you.
                 B
But now I don’t care,
                Em
I could go anywhere with you,
        A7              D   D7   
And I’d probably be happy.”

              G    D        Em   Em7
   So if you wanna be with me,
           C
   With these things
                    D
   There’s just no telling,
            G        B       Em
   We just have to wait and see.
                      Am
   But I’d rather be working
   For a paycheck,
   Amadd9                       Bm7  G
   Than waiting to win the lottery,
       Bsus4    
   Ah-ha,
        Em
   Mm-hmm.

   Besides,
      Am
   Maybe this time it’s different,
                                  D G
   I mean I really think you like me.
