Tom: C
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)
