West Coast kid in a Chevy S-10, everything I own in the back of the bed

Em7                 Em7/D               Cmaj9
Wide-eyed dreaming about a Nashville skyline, naive enough to think that it's my time

Em7          Em7/D             Cmaj9            G/B
    Singing about pipe dreams,       hanging on by heart strings

A hundred doors kept on closing, for the one door you blew open, yeah

This has got to be as good as it gets 'cause it feels like fiction

Cmaj9             G/B
Little footsteps,     running through the kitchen

Em7                Em7/D                         Cmaj9
    Lonely nights,       running on the highway,       turned into a couple bikes in the driveway

Em7        Em7/D            Cmaj9                  G/B
    Living that pipe dream,       I'm doing better than I ought to be

   Am7                  G/B                  D
Of all the lives that I could have lived in, when I see this one I've been given, I think

Sometimes     I open my eyes,   I can't believe it
