Intro (x2)
D G Bm A
[Verse]
D G
Early morning in a motel room,
Bm A
Sunshine trying to creep on through.
D G
Lost sleep but I found a tune,
Bm A
Stuck inside my head.
D G
Cigarettes, a tank of gas,
Bm A
Headed off to nowhere fast,
D G Bm A
Gotta find a way to make this feeling last.
[Chorus]
D G
'Cause I believe that I,
Bm A
Was born with a song inside of me.
D G
Never question why,
Bm A
I just keep on singing that melody.
D G
And as time goes by,
Bm A G
Oh it's funny how time can make you realize,
Bm 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 Bm A
[Verse]
D G
A part of dawn to be ashamed of,
Bm A
But good people are supposed to be up.
D G
But I found peace with this path I took,
Bm A
As I lay down my head.
D G
Crossroads you gotta choose,
Bm A
Which way could be win or lose.
D G Bm A
But every morning my soul seems to sing on through.
[Chorus]
D G
'Cause I believe that I,
Bm A
Was born with a song inside of me.
D G
Never question why,
Bm A
I just keep on singing that melody.
D G
And as time goes by,
Bm A G
Oh it's funny how time can make you realize,
Bm A
We're running out of it.
