VERSE
         E
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
          Dsus2           E
I had the radio on, I was drivin'   (riff)
E                                    
Trees flew by, me and Del were singin' 
        Dsus2            E
?Little Runaway? - I was flyin'


CHORUS
     D(no 3rd) G      E
Yeah runnin'   down a dream
     E           G       A
That never would come to me
D(no 3rd)    G    E   
Workin' on a mystery, 
E         G       A
Goin' wherever it leads
A       G      [E]
Runnin' down a dream

I felt so good like anything was possible
      Dsus2                        E
I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes    (riff)
    E
The last three days the rain was un-stoppable
       Dsus2              E
It was always cold, no sunshine


CHORUS

Yeah runnin'   down a dream

E
I rolled on, the sky grew dark
          Dsus2                   E
I put the pedal down to make some time    (riff)

I'm pickin' up whatever is mine
