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