         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'
[Refrain]
         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  
[Strophe]
  E 
I felt so good, like anything was possible 
      D                             E 
I hit cruise control, and rubbed my eyes 
  
The last three days, the rain was un-stoppable 
       D                  E 
It was always cold, no sunshine
[Refrain]
         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
[Refrain]
         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  
E 
  
         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
