This is the first day of my life Swear I was born right in the doorway I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed They're spreading blankets on the beach Yours is the first face that I saw Think I was blind before I met you Don't know where I am, don't know where I've been But I know where I want to go So I thought I'd let you know That these things take forever I especially am slow Dminadd9 But I realized how I need you and I wondered if I could come home Amin7 Dminadd9 I remember the time you drove all night Just to meet me in the morning I thought it was strange, you said everything changed You felt as if you'd just woke up And you said, "This is the first day of my life. I'm glad I didn't die before I met you. Now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you, And I'd probably be happy." So if you want to be with me With these things there's no telling We'll just have to wait and see Dminadd9 But I'd rather be working for a paycheck than waiting to win the lottery Dminadd9 Besides, maybe this time its different, I mean I really think you like me Dminadd9 Dminadd9
