Today Is The First Day Of The Rest Of My Life

	  		

G  
Today is the first day 
       C  
of the rest of my life 
  Am  
I wake as a child  
           Em  
to see the world again 
  
on monarch wings 

    Am            Em  
and birthday wonderings  
        D  
want to put on faces 
 Am         A7      D  
walk in the wet and cold  
          G         Bm        Em  
and look forward to my growing old 
   D  
to grow is to change  
   Em  
to change is to be new 
     Am  
to be new is to be young again 
  C               D  
I barely remember when 
   Em            Am           Em  
my memories are stolen by the morning 
 Em Am Em  
blotted out by the sun's hypnotic eye 

Em   D

to see the world begin on monarch wings 
     Am          Em
