D#           G              Cm
This is the first day of my life
G#           A#                   D#
Swear I was born right in the doorway
D#                 G                         Cm
I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
                F7                A#
They're spreading blankets on the beach

Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don't know where I am
I don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go

Chorus:
      D#         A#/D     Cm
So I thought I'd let you know
       G#                 A#
That these things take forever
  D#      A#/D   Cm
I especially am slow
       F
But I realized how I need you
                                D#
and I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up

And then you said
This is the first day of my life
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you
But now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy

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