Standard (EADGBE)

(verse)

This one goes out to the man who mines for miracles

This one goes out to the ones in need

This one goes out to the sinner and the cynical

This ain’t about no apology

This road was paved by the hopeless and the hungry

This road was paved by the winds of change

Walkin' beside the guily and the innocent

How will you raise your hand when they call your name?

Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Chorus)

 We weren’t born to follow

 Come on and get up off your knees

 When life is a bitter pill to swallow

 You gotta hold onto what you believe

 Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow

 And that saints and sinners bleed

 We weren’t born to follow

 You gotta stand up for what you believe

 Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

(Verse)

This one’s about anyone who does it differently

This one's about the one who curses and spits

This ain’t about our livin' in a fantasy

This ain’t about givin' up or givin' in

Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Chorus)

 We weren’t born to follow

 Come on and get up off your knees

 When life is a bitter pill to swallow

 You gotta hold onto what you believe

 Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow

 And that saints and sinners bleed

 We weren’t born to follow

 You gotta stand up for what you believe

 Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

 Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

Guitar!

(solo)

(Chorus)

 We weren’t born to follow

 Come on and get up off your knees

 When life is a bitter pill to swallow

 You gotta hold onto what you believe

 Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow

 And that saints and sinners bleed

 We weren’t born to follow

 You gotta stand up for what you believe

 Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

 Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

We weren’t born to follow, oh yeah

We weren’t born to follow, oh yeah
