Capo 1

Intro: D G Bm A x2

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, a tank of gas, 
Bm                  A
Headed off to nowhere fast, 
D                    G                 Bm  A
Gotta find a way to make this feeling last.

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 keep on singing that melody.
D                G
And as time goes by, 
Bm                A             G
Oh it's funny how time can make you realize, 
Bm                   A
We're running out of it.

D                 G
On the day that I die, 
Bm               A
I wanna say that I, 
D                    G               Bm     A
Was a man who really lived and never compromised.
D                      G
I want to live out my days, 
           Bm  A
Until the very end, 
             D             G
I hope they find me in my home
         Bm           A
With my guitar in my hands.
             D             G
I hope they find me in my home
         Bm           A
With my guitar in my hands.

D G Bm A

D                    G
A part of dawn to be ashamed of, 
Bm                  A
But good people are supposed to be up.
D                           G
But 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 could be win or lose.
D                     G                 Bm A
But every morning my soul seems to sing on through.

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 keep on singing that melody.
D                G
And as time goes by, 
Bm                A             G
Oh it's funny how time can make you realize, 
Bm                   A
We're running out of it.

Bm               A

D                      G

           Bm  A

             D             G

         Bm           A

             D             G

         Bm           A
With my guitar in my hands.
