Intro:
F F A7 A7 Dm Dm Bb Bb C C F F x2

F F A7 A7 Dm Dm
This is the first day of my life
Bb Bb C C F F
I swear I was born right in the doorway
A7 A7 Dm Dm
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
G7 G7 C C C7 C7
They're spreading blankets on the beach

F F A7 A7 Dm Dm
Yours is the first face that I saw
Bb Bb C C F F
I think I was blind before I met you
A7 A7
Now I dont know where I am
Dm Dm
I dont know where Ive been
G7 G7 C C C7 C7
But I know where I want to go

F F A7 A7 Dm Dm
And so I thought Id let you know
Bb Bb C C
That these things take forever
F F A7 A7 Dm Dm
I especially am slow
Gm Gm
But I realize that I need you
C C F F A7 A7 Dm Dm Gm Gm C7 C7 C C F F
And I wondered if I could come home

F F A7 A7 Dm Dm
Remember the time you drove all night
Bb Bb C C F F
Just to meet me in the morning
A7 A7 Dm Dm
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
G7 G7 C C
You felt as if youd just woke up
F F A7 A7 Dm Dm
And you said this is the first day of my life
Bb Bb C C F F
Im glad I didnt die before I met you
A7 A7 Dm Dm
But now I dont care I could go anywhere with you
G7 G7 C C C7 C7
And Id probably be happy
F F A7 A7 Dm Dm
So if you want to be with me
Bb Bb C C
With these things theres no telling
F F A7 A7 Dm Dm
We just have to wait and see
Gm Gm
But Id rather be working for a paycheck
C C F F A7 A7 Dm Dm
Than waiting to win the lottery
Gm Gm
Besides maybe this time is different
F F A7 A7 Dm Dm Gm Gm C7 C7 F F A7 A7 Dm Dm Gm Gm C7 C7 F F
I mean I really think you like me

I played this song at my parent’s wedding- my dad is gone now and this song reminds me of that day. Thank you for these wonderful chords.
