Signature Riff: E 0--7--0--6--0--5--0--3--0---------------

         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'


CHORUS
         A       G      E
Yeah I'm runnin' down a dream
     E           G       A
That never would come to me
A            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 tree 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
