F

In my younger years

Am

I cried all my tears

G C

In darkness all alone

Uncertainty in the air

F Am

Electricity everywhere

Tempers waiting to flare

G F---C <tap><tap><tap>

Waiting to explode

Am

It was like a dream

C

But I could not wake

F

I was drowining beneath the wake

G

Of the hope i would find my.

C G

place in the sun

Em F

My place in the sun

C G

My Place in the sun

C

F

I moved into my car

Am

Didn't think I'd go very far

G

But i found the spotlight

C

It did not want my soul

F

People let me in your living rooms

Am

To listen to my simple tunes

G F----C <tap><tap><tap>

just like me people needed words for company

Am C

But I thought I'd find a kind of world

F G

Beyond my own with people who're just as alone

And waiting to find their

C G

Place in the sun

Em F

Their place in the sun

C G

Their place in the sun

F--C

Just for beauty

F

Now i'm on the other side

G

Of my crazy kind of life

F G

I've seen fame and fortune, heartache, poverty

F

And I can see that everything really feels the same

G

And are you happy with your own name

Am

And I'm gonna fight, gonna be alright
