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