Verse1:
MI
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
RE MI
I had the radio on, I was drivin'
The trees went back, me and Del were singin'
RE MI
Little Runaway, I was so blind
Chorus RE SOL MI
Yeah, Runnin' down a dream
MI SOL LA
Never would come to me
RE SOL MI
Workin' on a mystery
MI SOL LA
Goin' wherever it leads
RE SOL MI
Runnin' down a dream
Verse2:
MI
I felt so good, like anything was possible
RE MI
Hit cruise control, and rub my eyes
Last three days, the rain was unstoppable
RE MI
(It) was always cold, no sunshine
Repeat Chorus
Break: It is just C (riff) D (riff) E (riff) Play 2X
Verse3:
MI
I rolled on, the sky grew dark
RE MI
I put the pedal down, to make some time
There's something good, waiting down this road
RE MI
I'm pickin' up, whatever is mine
Repeat chorus 2X, then Break part, and add SOL
MI
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
RE MI
I had the radio on. I was drivin'

Trees flew by, me and Del was singin' little runaway
MI
I was flyin'
CHORUS
LA SOL MI
Yeah I'm runnin' down a dream
MI SOL LA
That never would come to me
LA SOL MI MI SOL LA
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
LA SOL MI
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
CHORUS
