D  
Time was on my side 
             G  
When I was running down the street 
            D              C / G / D  
It was no bind, bind, bind 
D  
A suitcase and an old guitar 
   G  
It's all I need to occupy 
   D  
A mind like mine 


              Bm    C  
Yes we were born, born 
G            D  
Born to be alive 
Born to be alive 
              Bm    A      G  
Yes we were born, born, born 
             D  
Born to be alive 


D  
People ask me why 
             G  
I never find a place to stop 
            D                C / G / D  
And settle down, down, down 
D  
I never wanted all those things 
        G  
People need to justify 
      D  
Their life, life, life 


              Bm    C  
Yes we were born, born 
G            D  
Born to be alive 
Born to be alive 
              Bm    A      G  
Yes we were born, born, born 
             D  
Born to be alive

                 Bm  
It's good to be alive 
It's good to be alive 
                 G  
It's good to be alive 
                 Bm  
It's good to be alive 
It's good to be alive 
                 G  
It's good to be alive 
                 F#  
It's good to be alive 

              Bm    C  
Yes we were born, born 
G            D  
Born to be alive 
Born to be alive 
              Bm    A      G  
Yes we were born, born, born 
             D  
Born to be alive
