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