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