[Intro]
D G Bm A x2
 
[Verse 1]
D                    G
  Early morning in a motel room,
Bm                  A
Sunshine trying to creep on through.
D                G
Lost sleep but I found a tune,
Bm              A
Stuck inside my head.
D               G
Cigarettes and tank of gas,
Bm            A
Headed off to nowhere fast,
D                    G            Bm    A
Gotta find a way to make this feeling last.
 
[Pre-chorus]
           D          G
'Cause I believe that I,
    Bm                  A
Was born with a song inside of me.
      D        G
Never question why,
       Bm                   A
I just kept on chasing that melody.
       D         G
And as time goes by,
     Bm        A                  G
It's funny how time can make you realize,
                     A
We're running out of it.
 
[Chorus]
       G          D
On the day that I die,
        A        Bm
I wanna say that I,
      G              D              A      D
Was a man who really lived and never compromised.
              G            D
And when I've lived out my days,
           A   Bm
Until the very end,
             G             D
I hope they find me in my home
   A           D
A guitar in my hands.
             G             D
I hope they find me in my home
         A           D
With my guitar in my hands.
 
[Interlude]
   G  D    A  Bm
Whoa,     oh.
 
[Verse 2]
D                      G
  A part of dawn to be ashamed of,
Bm                    A
   Good people aren't supposed to be up.
D                         G
  I found peace with this path I took,
Bm               A
As I lay down my head.
D               G
Crossroads, you gotta choose,
Bm              A
Which way do we win or lose.
D                     G                Bm A
And every bone in my soul says I sing on through.
 
[Pre-chorus]
        D          G
And I believe that I,
    Bm                  A
Was born with a song inside of me.
      D        G
Never question why,
       Bm                    A
I just keep on singing these melodies.
   D         G
As time goes by,
     Bm        A                 G
It's funny how time can make you realize,
                     A
We're running out of it.
 
[Chorus]
       G          D
On the day that I die,
        A        Bm
I wanna say that I,
      G              D              A      D
Was a man who really lived and never compromised.
              G            D
And when I've lived out my days,
           A   Bm
Until the very end,
             G             D
I hope they find me in my home
 A           D
Guitar in my hands.
             G             D
I hope they find me in my home
         A N.C.
With my guitar in my hands.
 
[Bridge]
   G  D    A  Bm
Whoa,     oh.
   G  D    A  Bm
Whoa,     oh.
 
       G  D
We all go
       A  Bm
We all go
         G  D
It's all over
          A  Bm
'fore you know
 
D G Bm A
 
[Pre-chorus]
    D          G
I believe that I, 
    Bm                  A
Was born with a song inside of me.
      D        G
Never question why, 
       Bm                    A
I just keep on singing these melodies.
       D         G
And as time goes by, 
     Bm        A                 G
It's funny how time can make you realize, 
                     A
We're running out of it.
 
[Chorus] (a cappella)
       G          D
On the day that I die, 
        A        Bm
I wanna say that I, 
      G              D              A      D
Was a man who really loved and never compromised.
            G           D
And while I live out my days, 
           A   Bm
Until the very end, 
        G             D
You can find me in my home
 A           D
Guitar in my hands.
        G             D
You can find me in my home
        A            D
With my guitar in my hands.
 
[Outro]
   G  D    A  Bm
Whoa,     oh.
   G  D    A  Bm
Whoa,     oh.
