Em D
Momma was a moon, daddy was a sun
Am
I’m a man shot down by a law man’s gun
Em D Am
All must die and baby look my way
Em D
He said listen to me son while you still can
Am
You’ve gotta take life's cards with a loving hand
Em D Am
You can never fight another day
[Chorus]
Em
Because we’re born to die
D Am
In this life, when its time
Em D Am
Think about what you leave behind
Em
You’ve got a love for life
D Am
Take your time, make it right
Em D Am
Before you go, you can shine a light
Em D
Guard your promise, close your heart
C D
Told my secret to the stars
Am C D
Now I know the reason why
Em
We’re born to die
[Verse]
Em D
I was fifteen, yeah I knew it all
Em
I tried to run before I knew how to crawl
Em D Am
And couldn’t nobody seem to make me understand
Em D
But in this life you’ve got to pick your fights
Am
And even if you loose you've got to know you tried
Em D Am
Sometimes you’ve got to fall before you dance
[Chorus] x2
Em
Because we’re born to die
D Am
In this life, when its time
Em D Am
Think about what you leave behind
Em
You’ve got a love for life
D Am
Take your time, make it right
Em D Am
Before you go, you can shine a light
Em D
Guard your promise, close your heart
C D
Told my secret to the stars
Am C D
Now I know the reason why
Em
We’re born to die
