• Difficulty: Beginner

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

🎸 Verse 1:
C      E7       Am
 This is the first day of my life
F       G         C
 I swear I was born right in the doorway
C         E7          Am
 I went out in the rain; suddenly, everything changed
    D7            G    G7
They're spreading blankets on the beach
C       E7        Am
 Yours is the first face that I saw
F       G       C
 I think I was blind before I met you
C             E7
 Now I don’t know where I am
            Am
I don’t know where I’ve been
   D7          G   G7
But I know where I want to  go

🎸 Chorus:
     C      G    Am
And so, I thought I’d let you know
F         G    C
 That these things take forever
C  E7     Am
 I especially am slow
   F
But I realize that I need you
   G            (C)
And I wondered if I could come home


🎸 Interlude:
| C   | E7   | Am   | Am   |
| F   | G   | C   | C   |


🎸 Verse 2:
C       E7         Am
 Remember the time you drove all night
F    G       C
 Just to meet me in the morning?
C           E7             Am
 And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed
      D7         G   G7
You felt as if you'd just woke  up
       C       E7       Am
And you said “This is the first day of my life
F      G          C
 I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you
C         E7         Am
 But now, I don’t care; I could go anywhere with you
    D7      G   G7
And I’d probably be happy”


🎸 Chorus:
     C   G    Am
So if you wanna be with me
F      G         C
 With these things, there’s no telling
C    E7        Am
 We just have to wait and see
    F
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
   G            C  E7 Am
Than waiting to win the lottery
     F
Besides, maybe this time is different?
     G          (C)
I mean, I really think you like me


🎸 Outro:
| C   | E7   | Am   | Am   |
| F   | G   | C   | C   |
