(Born to be alive)                 [Fill]

                                      A A

[Verse] A D A G-D - A D A A

People ask me why I never

Find a place to stop and settle (down x3)

But I never wanted all those things

People need to justify their (lives x3)


[Hook #2] (You see we're born, born) (())


[Bridge] (F#m F#m D D x2) - C#7s4 C#7

It's good (to be alive x3) (x2)

It's good to be alive              [Link]

                                  A A A A

Time was on my side when I was

Running down the street,

    it was no bind, bind, bind

A suitcase and an old guitar

And something new to occupy my (mind x3)
