Intro (x2)
A D F#m E
[Verse]
A D
Early morning in a motel room,
F#m E
Sunshine trying to creep on through.
A D
Lost sleep but I found a tune,
F#m E
Stuck inside my head.
A D
Cigarettes, a tank of gas,
F#m E
Headed off to nowhere fast,
A D F#m E
Gotta find a way to make this feeling last.
[Chorus]
A D
'Cause I believe that I,
F#m E
Was born with a song inside of me.
A D
Never question why,
F#m E
I just keep on singing that melody.
A D
And as time goes by,
F#m E D
Oh it's funny how time can make you realize,
F#m E
We're running out of it.
[Verse]
A D A
On the day that I die,
E A
I wanna say that I,
D A E A
Was a man who really lived and never compromised.
D A
I want to live out my days,
E A
Until the very end,
D A
I hope they find me in my home
E A
With my guitar in my hands.
D A
I hope they find me in my home
E A
With my guitar in my hands.

A D F#m E
[Verse]
A D
E part of dawn to be ashamed of,
F#m E
But good people are supposed to be up.
A D
But I found peace with this path I took,
F#m E
As I lay down my head.
A D
Crossroads you gotta choose,
F#m E
Which way could be win or lose.
A D F#m E
But every morning my soul seems to sing on through.
[Chorus]
A D
'Cause I believe that I,
F#m E
Was born with a song inside of me.

Never question why,
F#m E
I just keep on singing that melody.

And as time goes by,
F#m E D
Oh it's funny how time can make you realize,
F#m E
We're running out of it.
