D MajorD
The beginning was so easy
Do whatever to survive
In the middle of my story
All I want is to feel alive
I'm not my mother or father
And I am not yesterday's son
I'm not broken I'm, a wide open highway
G+G D MajorD
With room to run
**Arpeggiate open D MajorD chord**
D MajorD
All these voices and decisions
Swimming circles in my head
B minorBm G+G D MajorD
All these choices and opinions
B minorBm G+G D MajorD
Feeling heavy as lead
B minorBm G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
I'm not my mother or father
B minorBm G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
And I am not yesterday's son
B minorBm G+G D MajorD
I'm not broken I'm, a wide open highway
G+G D MajorD
With room to run

In the middle of my story

All I want is to feel alive
