C
                     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    
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
          F--Am--G--C 
Just for me

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 
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


Bridge: **Strum each chord once and tap the guitar 3 times in rhythm
         C     G  
Found my plaaaaaaace in the suuun
    Am G
My place in theee suuuuuuuuuuun



Continue strumming as normal.
    C                    G

           Em           F
