D
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 D
With room to run
**Arpeggiate open D chord**
D
All these voices and decisions
Swimming circles in my head
Bm G D
All these choices and opinions
Bm G D
Feeling heavy as lead
Bm G D A
I'm not my mother or father
Bm G D A
And I am not yesterday's son
Bm G D
I'm not broken I'm, a wide open highway
G D
With room to run
D
In the middle of my story
Bm G D
All I want is to feel alive
Bm G D A
Bm G D A
Bm G D A
Bm G D A
I'm not my mother or father
Bm G D A
And I am not yesterday's son
Bm G D
I'm not broken I'm, a wide open highway
G D
With room to run
