Capo on 1st fret 
 
Am G  Am             
Who's to say  
         C               G 
That we always have to agree 
           Dm                  Am 
I think we both can take this one mistake 
          C             G 
Like some kind of amnesty 
 
Am              C          G 
Why to love and with such brutality 
      Dm 
We're compatible 
           Am 
But maybe a bit too much 
       C           G 
That's our ambiguity 
 
F                     Am 
I've cried a thousand storms 
     G              Dm 
I've blown away the clouds 
F                    C 
The heartbeat of the sun  
           G 
Is racing mine 
           Dm 
And listen how 
             F 
My heart is waiting 
 
 
Chorus 
C           G            Dm     F 
This is the day and the time 
          C 
I wanna believe  
     G            Dm         F 
That we may still have a chance 
C         G            Dm       F 
We took a leap in the dark 
             C 
And I can see now 
      G           Dm          F 
That shadows have turned to light 
 
 
Am   G  Am        C            G 
Well we know how ephemeral life is 
         Dm           Am 
Disillusion takes what illusion gives 
           C           G 
What's the use of make believe' 
 
F                   Am 
The needles of the clock 
    G                Dm 
Are moving right to left 
F                 C                  G 
Pretend we never heard the things we said 
                Dm 
Like we've been deaf 
              F 
And start all over 
 
 
Chorus 
C           G            Dm     F 
This is the day and the time... 
 
F                    Am 
The heartbeat of the sun 
           G 
Is racing mine 
           Dm 
And listen how 
 
Chorus 
C           G            Dm     F 
This is the day and the time...
