E,     E,     D,    E

It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down

I had the radio on, I was drivin’

Trees flew by, me and Del was singin’, little Runaway

I was flyin’

      D5      G      E,                                E           G       A

Yeah, runnin’ down a dream,  That never would come to me

      D5      G      E,                                E           G       A

Workin’ on a mystery,               Goin’ wherever it leads

A       G      E

Runnin’ down a dream

I felt so good, like anything was possible

I hit cruise control, and rubbed my eyes

The last three days, the rain was un-stoppable

It was always cold, no sunshine

[chorus]

I rolled on, as the sky grew dark

I put the pedal down, to make some time

There’s something good, waitin’ down this road

I’m pickin’ up, whatever’s mine

[chorus]
