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

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
