(verse)
A          B            C#m
Seger was singin' words I could believe in,
     A                B               C#m
And "Mainstreet" was my street that night.
     A            B          C#m
So I called up Samantha and asked her the chance of
   A            B             C#m   
us runnin' out neath the moonlight.
     A              B               C#m              
Well shes not with me now, she can always be found,
       A           B      C#m
When I rewind the radio dial.
    A            B      C#m
And like it was then I feel her on my skin,
    A                      B
And I'm back there for a while.


(chorus)
     E                     E
So I labor for hours cause I know the power,
     A                          B
Of a song when a song hits you right.
E                   E                    
Poured my soul into stories of life,
       A                       B
Hopin' someone will hear one tonight.
A                   E/G#
Maybe my voice will cut through the noise,
    A/F#       [ch]B/G#[/ch]    [ch]C#m7/A[/ch]
And stir up an old memory.
           A            B              A
And out of these piano keys, comes the sound,
    B
The sound of a million dreams.


(verse)
   A      B             C#m
My 18th summer I was a cocky up-and-come'er
 A         B           C#m  
Crankin' up "Born To Run"
     A             B              C#m
Turn left out the drive with the pistons open wide
      A            B        C#m
And I came back a prodigal son
   A            B         C#m
My spirit was broken, she threw the door open
   A              B          C#m
"I love you" not "I told you so"
       A           B            C#m
When I hear momma tried I still break down and cry
    A                        B          
And pull to the side of the road


(chorus)
     E                     E
So I labor for hours cause I know the power,
     A                          B
Of a song when a song hits you right.
E                   E                    
Poured my soul into stories of life,
       A                       B
Hopin' someone will hear one tonight.
A                   E/G#

    A/F#       [ch]B/G#[/ch]    [ch]C#m7/A[/ch]
And stir up an old memory.
           A            B              A
And out of these piano keys, comes the sound,
    B
The sound of a million dreams.
