 This is my time, this is my tear
C          G7                Am
 I can see clearly now that this is not a place for playin' solitaire
C          G7       Am
 Tell me where you want me
C           G7               Am
 This is my time, this is my tear
C           G7               Am
 Coming on strong, Baudelaire
C         G7                 Am
 Seems to me like all the world gets high when you take a dare
C         G7    Am
 Let it rise before you
C           G7
 This is my crime
(CHORUS:)
C          C/B      Asus2          Am/G
 All and all and Im loving every rise and fall
     Fsus2             C/E
The sun will make and I will take
Dm           G
Breath to be sure of this
C          C/B
 In the end and then
Asus2           Am/G
All will be forgiven when
   Fsus           C/E
Surrender rises high and I
Dm          G
Gave what I came to give
Am                                 Am
 Say it now because you never know
(SAME CHORDS AS LAST VERSE!!)
Devil may cry, devil may care
Distiller's got a scream and now I know just why
When she's movin' air
Can you feel the voltage?
This is my time
