Well, I never did crawl and I never did toe the line
No man is master to [G] me.
I [A] ain't that kind
[D] I just put on my traveling shoes if you wanna win you just can't lose the [E] time
or [C] stay [A] behind
Well, I was born to run
To [D] get ahead of the [A] race
You know [A] that a woman was to be the best just to feel free
[D] And be [A] someone
I was born to be [E] fast, I was [A] born to run
Well, I take the chances sometimes and make mistakes
But you don't get nothing [G] unless you [A] take a break
[D] Givens is dangerous as dynamite
Sure, it makes you feel nervous
But it makes you [E] feel alright
It [A] makes you feel alright
Well, I'm gonna run
To get ahead of the race
[D] And all [A] that a woman [E] was to be the best
