[Verse 1]
F Bb G7
Some girls dream of meeting a rich boy
F Bb G7
Some girls dream of being a Playboy
F C Dm Bb
But since I was young, I only had one
F Bb F
I dreamed of being a cowboy
F Bb G7
I used to strut up and down my street
F Bb G7
Wearing a stensen and boots on my feet
F C Dm Bb
And in my mind, I'd go back in time
F Bb F
To a land of sand and whiskey
[Pre-Chorus]
F Bb F
And ooh, ooh, all the other kids
F C
They used to tell me I was strange
F Bb F
But ooh, ooh, I didn't care what they did
F C
I knew I belonged on the plains
[Chorus]
Bb C F Dm Bb
'Cause I was born to be a cowboy
Bb C
F Dm Bb
Singing in a campfire song
Bb C F Dm Bb
I was born to be a cowboy
Bb C
Eb D C Bb
But the cowboys are gone

[Verse 2]
F Bb G7
Soon I gave up on the rodeo
F Bb G7
And started listening to the radio
F C Dm Bb
Got lost in the sound and I found
F Bb F
That I was born to rock and roll
F Bb G7
I started playing the electric guitar
F Bb G7
And learned a limited repertoire
F C Dm Bb
And dreamed of the days where the bands still played
F Bb F
And good music could make you a star
[Pre-Chorus]
F Bb F
And ooh, ooh, most people said I should quit
F C
Said I didn't belong on stage
F Bb F
But ooh, ooh, I didn't care what they did
F C
I knew I had songs in my veins
[Chorus]
Bb C F Dm Bb
'Cause I was born to be a rock star
Bb C
F Dm Bb
Live fast and die young
Bb C F Dm Bb
I was born to be a rockstar
Bb C
Eb D C Bb
But the rockstars are gone
[Bridge]
Bb Bbm
How do you find your place in a world
F F7
Where you don't belong?
Bb Bbm
All the worlds where I should have been
G7 C7
They've all come and gone
[Chorus]
Bb C F Dm Bb
'Cause I was born to be someone
Bb C
F Dm Bb
It was written in my faith
Bb C F Dm Bb
I was born to be a someone
Bb C
Eb D C Bb
But maybe I was born too late
