Capo 1
Intro (x2)
DGBmAVerseDG
Early morning in a motel room,
BmA
Sunshine trying to creep on through.
DG
Lost sleep but I found a tune,
BmA
Stuck inside my head.
DG
Cigarettes, a tank of gas,
BmA
Headed off to nowhere fast,
DGBmA
Gotta find a way to make this feeling last.
ChorusDG
'Cause I believe that I,
BmA
Was born with a song inside of me.
DG
Never question why,
BmA
I just keep on singing that melody.
DG
And as time goes by,
BmAG
Oh it's funny how time can make you realize,
BmA
We're running out of it.
VerseDGD
On the day that I die,
AD
I wanna say that I,
GDAD
Was a man who really lived and never compromised.
GD
I want to live out my days,
AD
Until the very end,
GD
I hope they find me in my home
AD
With my guitar in my hands.
GD
I hope they find me in my home
AD
With my guitar in my hands.
InstrumentalDGBmAVerseDGA part of dawn to be ashamed of,
BmA
But good people are supposed to be up.
DG
But I found peace with this path I took,
BmA
As I lay down my head.
DG
Crossroads you gotta choose,
BmA
Which way could be win or lose.
DGBmA
But every morning my soul seems to sing on through.
