Biography:
Zachary Barnett (vocals), James Adam Shelley (guitar/banjo), Matt Sanchez (drums), and Dave Rublin (bass) started the band "American Authors" Boston, Massachusetts in 2012, but soon moved to Brooklyn, New York. As their band name suggests, this quartet writes stories through their music to share their struggles, high and lows, and changes.
Soon after forming, American Authors caught the attention of Island Records, which signed the band to a record deal.

Am C
I'm born to run down rocky cliffs
Em F
Give me grace, bury my sins
Am C
Shattered glass and black holes
Em F
Can't hold me back from where I need to go
Am C
Yellow hills and valleys deep
Em F
I watch them move under my feet
Am C
Stranger things have come and gone
Em F
To see the world and take the throne
[Pre-chorus]
N.C.
Don't hold back
Oh, I won't hold back
[Chorus]
Am C
I'm gonna live my life like I'm gonna die young
Em F
Like it's never enough, like I'm born to run
Am C
I'm gonna spend my time like tomorrow won't come
Em F
Do whatever I want like I'm born to run
Am C
I wanna see Paris, I wanna see Tokyo
Em F
I wanna be careless even if I break my bones
Am C
I'm gonna live my life like I'm gonna die young
Em F
Like it's never enough, like I'm born to run

Am C
A winding road where strangers meet
Em . F
To feel the love of a warm drink
Am C
My body moves, it's speaking loud
Em F
Don't have to say what I'm thinking now
[Pre-chorus]
N.C.
Don't hold back
Oh, I won't hold back
[Chorus]
Am C
I'm gonna live my life like I'm gonna die young
Em F
Like it's never enough, like I'm born to run
Am C
I'm gonna spend my time like tomorrow won't come
Em F
Do whatever I want like I'm born to run
Am C
I wanna see Paris, I wanna see Tokyo
Em F
I wanna be careless even if I break my bones
Am C
I'm gonna live my life like I'm gonna die young
Em F
Like it's never enough, like I'm born to run
[Bridge]
Am C
All these things I've seen and done
Em F
I live my life like I'm born to run
Am C
All these things I've seen and done
Em F
I live my life like I'm born to run
Am C
All these things I've seen and done
Em F
I live my life like I'm born to run
