[Verse 1]
           C
Man can be king
                   G
Seems to have everything
                    Am
But it comes with a sting
 G   F                C
When you were born to sing
                    C
Reason doesn't walk in
                   G
It's not done on a whim
               Am
Passion's everything
G    F                C
When you were born to sing


[Chorus]
        F
Feeling good
            C
Singing the blues

"I'm gonna sing the blues"
             D7
No, it ain't easy
                    G7
Keep on paying them dues
                    C
When it gets to the part
                       G
When it's not stop and start
                        Am
Thenn deep down in your heart
G         F                C
You know, you were born to sing

              C
When you came in

No original sin

You were a king
G      F                C
'Cause you were born to sing
                    C
Reason doesn't walk in
                   G
It's not done on a whim
               Am    
Passion's everything

When you were born to sing

And the band starts to swing

You were born to sing
                    C
When it gets to the part [Comes to the part]
