The First Day

       C                G        Em         F
On the first day of the year, my aim was so clear
        C       G             Am   F
I could see the line on the horizon
  C          G     Em        F
I got it all made, brave, unafraid
       Am         G      C
On the first day, on the first day

       C            G         Em       F
On the first day we met, I'll never forget
         C         G                Am    F
You were wearing a blue dress and a ribbon
    C             G        Em        F
And right there I swore "Forever and more"
       Am         G      C
On the first day, on the first day

Dm        C#    G#     Cm
And oh my heart, oh my heart
F#          Bb             F
Fails every second, to the beating of the clock

        C               G            Em         F
Oh, the first words you said, like a bird in my head
        C          G     Am      F
I could swear that I was dreaming
C                  G              Em           F
Our love was still small, yet I believed in it all
       Am          G      C
On the first word, on the first word
         Am          G      C
Like the first love, oh the first love
       Am         G      C
On the first day, on the first day

Dm        C#    G#     Cm
But oh my heart, oh my heart
F#           Bb           F
It takes its time, but in time it will stumble and hurt
Dm        C#   G#            Cm
It grows apart, fades in the dark
F#             Bb            F
It fails every second to the beating of the clock

( Dm C# G# Cm F# Bb F )(3x)
