D 
The beginning was so easy 
Do whatever to survive 
In the middle of my story 
All I want is to feel alive 

I'm not my mother or father 
And I am not yesterday's son 
I'm not broken I'm, a wide open highway 
     G        D 
With room to run 

**Arpeggiate open D chord** 

D 
All these voices and decisions 
Swimming circles in my head 
          Bm     G    D 
All these choices and opinions 
        Bm   G   D 
Feeling heavy as lead 

Bm         G         D      A 
I'm not my mother or father 
    Bm       G           D   A 
And I am not yesterday's son 
Bm                 G            D 
I'm not broken I'm, a wide open highway 
     G           D 
With room to run

In the middle of my story
