Lyrics

Re This is the first day of my life.

I swear I was born right in the door way.

I went out in the rain; sud d’nly (G#)ev ’ry thing (C#m)changed.

They’re spread ing as (F#7)blan kets on the beach.

And you said: Yours is the first face that I saw.

I think I I was did n’t blind be fore I met you.

And I don’t know where I am, I don’t (G#)know where I’ve been, but I

and know I’d (F#7)where I want to go.

And so I (E)thought I’d (B)let you know,

yeah, these (A)things take just for ev er.

I es pe cial ly am slow,

But I’d rath but er I be (F#m)re al ize that I need you, and I won dered if I could come home.

Mm,

mm.

Re mem ber the time you drove all night

I swear just to meet me in the morn ing?

And I thought it was strange; you said (G#)ev ’ry thing (C#m)changed.

You felt ing as (F#7)if you just woke up.

And you said: This is the first day of my life.

I’m glad I I was did n’t die be fore I met you.

And I But now I don’t care; I could (G#)go an y where with you,

and know I’d (F#7)prob ’ly be hap py.

So, if you (E)wan na (B)be with me,

with these (A)things there’s just no tell ing; we just have to wait and see.

But I’d rath but er I be (F#m)work al ing for a pay check than wait ing to win the lot ter y.

Oh,

mm.

Be sides, may be this time is dif f’rent.

I mean, I real ly think you’ll like me, ee, ee, (G#)ee,

ee,

ee, ee.
