Intro (x2)
E A C#m B
[Verse]
E A
Early morning in a motel room,
C#m B
Sunshine trying to creep on through.
E A
Lost sleep but I found a tune,
C#m B
Stuck inside my head.
E A
Cigarettes, a tank of gas,
C#m B
Headed off to nowhere fast,
E A C#m B
Gotta find a way to make this feeling last.
[Chorus]
E A
'Cause I believe that I,
C#m B
Was born with a song inside of me.
E A
Never question why,
C#m B
I just keep on singing that melody.
E A
And as time goes by,
C#m B A
Oh it's funny how time can make you realize,
C#m B
We're running out of it.
[Verse]
E A E
On the day that I die,
B E
I wanna say that I,
A E B E
Was a man who really lived and never compromised.
A E
I want to live out my days,
B E
Until the very end,
A E
I hope they find me in my home
B E
With my guitar in my hands.
A E
I hope they find me in my home
B E
With my guitar in my hands.
[Instrumental]
E A C#m B
[Verse]
E A
B part of dawn to be ashamed of,
C#m B
But good people are supposed to be up.
E A
But I found peace with this path I took,
C#m B
As I lay down my head.
E A
Crossroads you gotta choose,
C#m B
Which way could be win or lose.
E A C#m B
But every morning my soul seems to sing on through.
[Chorus]
E A
'Cause I believe that I,
C#m B
Was born with a song inside of me.
E A
Never question why,
C#m B
I just keep on singing that melody.
E A
And as time goes by,
C#m B A
Oh it's funny how time can make you realize,
C#m B
We're running out of it.
