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