First Day of My Life

Bright Eyes

E2 G# C#2 (B) A2 B2 E2 (x2)
       E2                G#                   C#2   (B)
          This is the first day of my life
       A2                   B2                       E2
          Swear I was born right in the doorway
       E2                         G#                                      C#2
          I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
                                        F#           F#7    B2        B7
          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, don't know where I've been
          But I know where I want to go

                                          E2             B2       C#2
                           And so I thought I'd let you know
                                   A2                              B2          E2     G#     C#2
                           That these things take forever, I especially am slow
                                    F#m
                           But I realized that I need you
                                                                               E2            E2/Eb       C#2
                           And I wondered if I could come home, mm-hmm mm-hmm?
                                                                                                                            F#m Am

          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 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."

                           So if you wanna be with me
                           With these things there's no telling,
                              we'll just have to wait and see
                           But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
                           Than waiting to win the lottery - uh-huh, mm-hmm

                                         F#m
                           Besides, maybe this time it's different
                                                                            E2 E2/Eb C#2    F#m Am
                           I mean I really think you like me...
                                                                                     E2 E2/Eb C#2   F#m Am  E2
