Chords and lyrics for Who I Was Born to Be by Susan Boyle

When I was a child

 

I could see  

G 

the wind in the trees

And I heard a song in the breeze

 

It was  

E 

there, singing  

Em 

out my name

Bm 

 

But I am not  

C 

a 

 

girl

D 

I have  

G 

known the taste of defeat

And I’ve finally grown to believe

 

It  

Em 

will all came around  

E 

again

 

And though  

Bm 

I may not know  

C 

the 

 

answers

D 

I can  

G 

finally say I am free

 

And if the  

F# 

questions led  

C 

me 

 

here

 

Then  

G 

I 

 

 

D 

am who I was born to be

Em 

 

And so here  

C 

am 

 

I

 

Open arms  

G 

and ready to  

C 

stand

 

I’ve  

D 

got the  

G 

world in my  

A 

hands

And it feels like my turn to fly

F# 

 

Though  

F#m 

I may not know the  

C#m 

answers

 

I can finally  

D 

say I  

E 

am 

 

free

A 

And if the questions led  

G# 

me 

 

 

D 

here

 

Then I am who  

E 

I was born to be

 

When  

F#m 

I was a child

D 

There were flowers  

A 

that bloomed in the night

 

Unafraid to  

E 

take 

 

 

A 

in the light

 

Unashamed to have  

D 

braved the dark

 

Though  

E 

I may not  

D 

know the answers

 

I  

F#m 

can finally say  

D 

I am free

 

And if  

A 

the questions led me here

 

Then I am who  

D 

I was  

E 

born to be

 

I  

A 

am who  

Am 

I was born to be
