This road was paved by the hopeless and the hungry
G#m
This road was paved by the winds of change
C#m
Walkin' beside the guily and the innocent
     F#
How will you raise your hand when they call your name?

           G#m      E
We weren’t born to follow
                F#           C#m
Come on and get up off your knees
               G#m              E
When life is a bitter pill to swallow

Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

This one’s about anyone who does it differently
This one's about the one who curses and spits
This ain’t about our livin' in a fantasy
This ain’t about givin' up or givin' in
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Chorus

                     E           B        F#
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

We weren’t born to follow, oh yeah
E           B       F#
We weren’t born to follow, oh yeah
