I'm Born To Run chords
Start Jamming...
[Cm] I'm born to [Eb] run down rocky [Gm] cliffs, give me [Ab] grace, bury my sins, shattered [Eb] glass and black
[Gm] holes can't hold me [Ab] back from where I need to [Cm] go.
Oh, oh, oh, [Eb] oh, oh, oh, oh, [Gm] oh, oh,
[Ab] oh.
[Cm] Yellow [Eb] hills and valleys [Gm] deep, I watch them [Ab] move under my [Cm] feet.
Stranger [Eb] things have come and [Gm] gone, to see the [Ab] world and take the throne.
[Eb] Don't hold back.
Oh, I won't hold back.
[Cm] I'm gonna live my life [Eb] like I'm gonna die young
[Gm] Like it's never enough, [Ab] like I'm born to run
I'm [Cm] gonna spend my time [Eb] like tomorrow will come
[Gm] Do whatever I want, [Ab] like I'm born to run
I [Cm] wanna see Paris, I wanna [Eb] see Tokyo
I [Gm] wanna be careless, even [Ab] if I break my bones
I'm [Cm] gonna live my life [Eb] like I'm gonna die young
[Gm] Like it's never enough, [Ab] like I'm born to run
[Cm] A winding [Eb] road, where strangers [Gm] meet
To feel the [Ab] love of a warm [Cm] drink
My body [Eb] moves, it's speaking [Gm] loud
Don't have to [Ab] say what I'm thinking now
Don't hold back, oh I won't hold back
[Cm] I'm gonna live my life [Eb] like I'm gonna die young
Like [Gm] it's never enough, [Ab] like I'm born to run
I'm [Cm] gonna spend my time like [Eb] tomorrow will come
Do [Gm] whatever I want, like [Ab] I'm born to run
I wanna [Cm] see Paris, I wanna [Eb] see Tokyo
I wanna [Gm] be careless, even if [Ab] I break my bones
I'm [Cm] gonna live my life [Eb] like I'm gonna die young
Like [Gm] it's never enough, like [Ab] I'm born to run
