Coversong originally made famous by Tom Petty

         E                  E
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
          Dsus2          | E | % |
I had the radio on, I was drivin'
E                     E       
Trees flew by, me and Del were singin' 
        Dsus2            E
“Little Runaway” - I was flyin'

      D5      G      E
Yeah, runnin' down a dream
     E           G       A
That never would come to me
D5           G    E
Workin' on a mystery
E         G       A 
Goin' wherever it leads
A       G      E
Runnin' down a dream

  E                 E
I felt so good like anything was possible
      Dsus2                       | E | % |
I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
    E                   E
The last three days the rain was unstoppable
       Dsus2             | E | % |
It was always cold, no sunshine
[Chorus]
E                  E
I rolled on as the sky grew dark
          Dsus2                  | E | % |
I put the pedal down to make some time
        E                      E
There's something good waitin' down this road
    Dsus2                | E | % |
I'm pickin' up whatever's mine
[Chorus]
