Standard (EADGBE)

Well I never did crawl and I never did toe that line

No man is a master to me I ain't that kind

 I just put on my traveling shoes

 If you wanna win you just can't lose the time

 Or stay behind

 Well I was born to run

 To get ahead of the rest

 And all that I wanted was to be the best

 Just to feel free and be someone

 I was born to be fast I was born to run

Well I take the chances sometimes I've made mistakes

But you don't get nothing unless you take the breaks

Living as dangerous as dynamite

 Sure makes you feel nervous but it makes you feel alright

 Makes you feel alright

 Well I was born to run

 To get ahead of the rest

 And all that I wanted was to be the best

 Just to feel free and be someone

 I was born to be fast I was born to run

SOLO in A then B chord

Nobody's gonna make me do things their way

By the time you figure it out it's yesterday

 Well it comes to he who waits I'm told

But I don't need it when I'm old and gray

 Yea I want it today

 Well I was born to run

 To get ahead of the rest

 And all that I wanted was to be the best

 Just to feel free and be someone

 I was born to be fast I was born to run
