         E
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
          D               E
I had the radio on, I was drivin'   (riff x1)
 
The trees went by, me and Del were singin'
         D                E
A little “Runaway”, I was flyin’
 
 
Chorus:
      D       G       E
Yeah, runnin' down a dream
     E           G       A
That never would come to me
D            G     E
Workin' on a mystery
E         G       A
Goin' wherever it leads
D       G      E
Runnin' down a dream  (riff x1)
 
 
  E
I felt so good, like anything was possible
    D                             E
Hit cruise control, and rubbed my eyes  (riff x1)
 
The last three days, the rain was unstoppable
       D                  E
It was always cold, no sunshine
 
Chorus
 
    C       D       E   
Ooo-oo, ooo-oo, ooo-oo    x2
 
E
I rolled on, the sky grew dark
          D                        E
I put the pedal down, to make some time  (riff x1)
 
There's something good, waiting down this road
    D                       E
I'm pickin' up, whatever is mine
 
Chorus x2
 
    C       D       E   
Ooo-oo, ooo-oo, ooo-oo    x2000
