Am
You can't run away forever
            F                            C         G
But there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start
            Am                               F
You want to shut down the night you want to shut down the sun
            G
You want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart

Am
Think of how we'd lay down together
        F                         C           G
We'd be listening to the radio so loud and so strong
      Am                          F
Every golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods
G                                    G7
Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs

C                    Am
I treasure your love I never wanna lose it
F                       C
You've been through the fires of hell
      F                         G
And I know you got the ashes to prove it
C                    Am
I treasure your love I want to show you how to use it
F                            C
You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt
      F                         G
And I know you got the scars to prove it

F             G            Am
Remember everything that I told you
        F            G              Am
and I'm telling you again that it's true
            F          G                    Am
When you're alone and afraid and you're completley amazed
                F                   G
To find there's nothing anybody can do
                G
Keep on believing and you'll discover baby

C                              Am
There' always something magic there's always something new
F                           C
And when you really really need it the most
            F                       G
that's when rock'n'roll dreams come true
C                          Am
The beat is yours forever the beat is always true
F                           C
And when you really really need it the most
            F                       G           Am
That's when rock'n'roll dreams come true for you

Am
Once upon a time was a backbeat
F                        C              G
Once upon a time all the chords came to live
        Am                        F
And the angels had guitars even before they had wings
       G                           G7
If you hold on to a chorus you can get through the night

C                    Am
I treasure your love I never wanna lose it
F                       C
You've been through the fires of hell
      F                         G
And I know you got the ashes to prove it
C                    Am
I treasure your love I want to show you how to use it
F                            C
You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt
      F                         G
And I know you got the scars to prove it

F             G            Am
Remember everything that I told you
        F            G              Am
And I'm telling you again that it's true
F             G                   Am
You're never alone 'cause you can put on your phones
            F                               G
And let the drummer tell your heart what to do
                G
Keep on believing and you discover baby

C                              Am
There' always something magic there's always something new
F                           C
And when you really really need it the most
            F                       G
that's when rock'n'roll dreams come true
C                          Am
The beat is yours forever the beat is always true
F                           C
And when you really really need it the most
