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)
