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

[Verse]
G C
D part of dawn to be ashamed of,
Em D
But good people are supposed to be up.
G C
But I found peace with this path I took,
Em D
As I lay down my head.
G C
Crossroads you gotta choose,
Em D
Which way could be win or lose.
G C Em D
But every morning my soul seems to sing on through.
[Chorus]

'Cause I believe that I,
Em D
Was born with a song inside of me.

We're running out of it.
