A5                            D5         G5   D5    A5
Well I never did crawl and I never did toe that line
A5                     D5    G5     D5    A5
No man is a master to me I ain't that kind
        D5        G5         D5
I just put on my traveling shoes
                     G5          D5        E5
If you wanna win you just can't lose the time
        A5
Or stay behind
           D5       A5
Well I was born to run
       D5            A5
To get ahead of the rest
     D5         A5             E5      A5
And all that I wanted was to be the best
        D5    A5        D5       A5
Just to feel free and be someone
      D5          A5          E5       A5
I was born to be fast I was born to run
A5                           D5          G5     D5    A5

Well I take the chances sometimes I've made mistakes
A5                           D5        G5    D5   A5
But you don't get nothing unless you take the breaks
D5                      G5    D5
Living as dangerous as dynamite
                                   G5         D5         E5
Sure makes you feel nervous but it makes you feel alright
               A5
Makes you feel alright
           D5       A5
Well I was born to run
       D5            A5
To get ahead of the rest
     D5         A5             E5      A5
And all that I wanted was to be the best
        D5    A5       D5       A5
Just to feel free and be someone
      D5          A5          E5       A5
I was born to be fast I was born to run

SOLO   in A   then  B chord

B5                         E5      A5    E5  B5
Nobody's gonna make me do things their way
B5                         E5       A5   E5    B5
By the time you figure it out it's yesterday
        E5               A5         E5
Well it comes to he who waits I'm told
E5                           A5    E5    F#5
But I don't need it when I'm old and gray
              B5
Yea I want it today
           E5       B5
Well I was born to run
       E5            B5
To get ahead of the rest
    E5          B5             F#5    B5
And all that I wanted was to be the best
        E5    B5        E5       B5
Just to feel free and be someone
      E5          B5          F#5      B5
I was born to be fast I was born to run
