Well, I never did crawl and I never did toe the line _
No man is master to [G] me, I [D] ain't that [A] kind _
I [D] just put on my traveling shoes
If you wanna win, you just can't lose [E] the time
[C] Oh, stay [A] behind
Well, I was born to _ run
You get ahead of the race
_ [D] And [A] all that I [E] wanted was to [A] be the best
Just to [D] feel free
_ _ [D] And be [A] someone _
I was born to be fast, [E] I was [A] born to run _
[A] Well, I take the chances, sometimes [F#m] I make [A] mistakes _
But you don't do [D] nothing unless [F#m] you [A] take a break _
_ [D] Given the dangers, there's dynamite
True, it makes you feel nervous, but it makes you [E] feel alright
It makes you [A] feel alright
Well, I run and _ I get ahead of the race
[D] And [A] all that I [E] wanted was to be the [D] best
Just to feel free
_ And be [A] someone _
I was born to be fast, [E] I was born [A] to run

So I don't need it when I go to [F#] bed
