E It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down D E I had the radio on, I was drivin' D Trees flew by, me and Del was singin', little Runaway E I was flyin' A G E Yeah I'm runnin' down a dream G A That never would come to me G E G A Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads G E Runnin' down a dream E I felt so good, like anything was possible D E I hit cruise control, and rubbed my eyes The last tree days, the rain was un-stoppable D E It was always cold, no sunshine A G E Yeah I'm runnin' down a dream G A That never would come to me G E G A Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads G E Runnin' down a dream E I rolled on, as the sky grew dark D E I put the pedal down, to make some time There's something good, waitin' down this road D E I'm pickin' up, whatever's mine A G E Yeah I'm runnin' down a dream G A That never would come to me G E E G A Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads G E Runnin' down a dream This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
