Capo: 1st fret [this is played easier with the capo and with the exact tuning]

This is a very special song to me. :) David Cook has been very influential. :)

Intro: C9

Em       C        G       D
I’ve been waiting for my dreams
    Em         C
To turn into something
G        D
I could believe in
     Em     C
And looking for that
G       D
Magic rainbow
E       C
On the horizon
G           D
I couldn’t see it

   Am         C
Until I let go
  G         D         Em             C          D
Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn
         Am       C
Now I’m coming alive
G          D
Body and soul
      Em        C              D
And feelin’ my world start to turn

Chorus:
           G          D
And I’ll taste every moment
      C9         D
And live it out loud
        Em           C     
I know this is the time,
 G           D
This is the time
        G           D
To be more than a name
       C9          D
Or a face in the crowd
         Em          C
I know this is the time
   G          D          Em   [Em C D]
This is the time of my life
                  Em C D
Time of my life

Em       C       G         D
Holding onto things that vanished
Em        C
Into the air
G           D
Left me in pieces
    Em      C       G        D
But now I’m rising from the ashes
 Em          C
Finding my wings
     G           D
And all that I needed
      Am         C
Was there all along
  G         D
Within my reach
     Em          C          D
As close as the beat of my heart

[Repeat Chorus chords]
So I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life


         Bb                  C
And I’m out on the edge of forever
           D
Ready to run
        Bb 
I’m keeping my feet on the ground
               C
My arms open wide
                D
My face to the sun

[Repeat chorus chords]
I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
This is the time
This is the time of my life.
This is the time of my life.
