Runnin' Down A Dream
Tom Petty

INTRO E Riff (4x)

         E
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
          D               E        (Riff)
I had the radio on, I was drivin'
E
Trees flew by, me and Del was singin'
       D               E
Little Runaway - I was flyin'
 
         A       G      E
Yeah I'm runnin' down a dream
E                 G       A
That never would come to me
A            G    E
Workin' on a mystery
E         G        A
Goin' wherever it leads
A       G      E      (Riff)
Runnin' down a dream   
 
  E
I felt so good, like anything was possible
      D                             E     (Riff)
I hit cruise control, and rubbed my eyes
 E
The last three days, the rain was un-stoppable
       D                  E
It was always cold, no sunshine
 
         A       G      E
Yeah I'm runnin' down a dream
E                 G       A
That never would come to me
A            G    E
Workin' on a mystery
E         G        A
Goin' wherever it leads
A       G      E      (Riff)
Runnin' down a dream

  E
I rolled on, as the sky grew dark
          D                        E     (Riff)
I put the pedal down, to make some time
 E
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
E                 G       A
That never would come to me
A            G    E
Workin' on a mystery
E         G        A
