C F
Early morning in a motel room,
Am G
Sunshine trying to creep on through.
C F
Lost sleep but I found a tune,
Am G
Stuck inside my head.
C F
Cigarettes, a tank of gas,
Am G
Headed off to nowhere fast,
C F Am G
Gotta find a way to make this feeling last.
[Chorus]
C F
'Cause I believe that I,
Am G
Was born with a song inside of me.
C F
Never question why,
Am G
I just keep on singing that melody.
C F
And as time goes by,
Am G F
Oh it's funny how time can make you realize,
Am 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.

G part of dawn to be ashamed of,
Am G
But good people are supposed to be up.

But I found peace with this path I took,
Am G
As I lay down my head.

Crossroads you gotta choose,
Am G
Which way could be win or lose.

But every morning my soul seems to sing on through.
