The Way I Was Made Chords and Words

Intro - C Dm F

C                  Dm         F              C
Caught in the half-light, I’m caught alone
                      Dm           F              C
Waking up to the sunrise and the radio
                     Dm         F                C
Feels like I’m tied up, what’s holding me?
                  Dm           F                  C
Just praying today will be the day I go free

I want to live like there’s no tomorrow
              Am
I want to dance like no one’s around
               Dm
I want to sing like nobody’s listening 
             G
Before I lay my body down
               C
I want to give like I have plenty
              Am          
I want to love like I’m not afraid
              Dm
I want to be the man I was meant to be
              Bb      F              C
I want to be the way I was made

Verse 2

( Same as the first verse )

Made in Your likeness, made with Your hands
Made to discover who You are and who I am
All I’ve forgotten help me to find
All that You’ve promised let it be in my life
