Chords

[Intro] |Am |C Dm G | 4x [Verse]
Am
 The office door closed early

C                          Dm   G
 The hidden bottle came out

Am
 The salesman turned to close the blinds

C                 Dm           G
 A little slow now, a little stout
|Am |C Dm G |
Am
 But he's still heading down those tracks

C                 Dm    G
 Any day now for sure

Am
 Another day as drab as today

    C                     Dm    G
Is more than a man can endure
[Instrumental] |F |Am G |F | [Chorus]
  Am                    G
Dreams flow across the heartland

F
 Feeding on the fires

  Am                G
Dreams transport desires

  F
Drive you when you're down

  Am                 G                    F
Dreams transport the ones who need to get out of town, out of town
[Verse]
Am
 The boy walks with his best friend

             C                 Dm   G
Through the fields of early May

Am
 They walk awhile in silence

      C               Dm   G
One close, one far away

Am
 But he'd be climbing on that bus

      C                 Dm   G
Just him and his guitar

Am
 To blaze across the heavens

         C                     Dm   G
Like a brilliant shooting star
[Instrumental] |Am |Em |F |G | [Bridge 1]
Am                  Em
 The middle aged Madonna

F                            G
 Calls her neighbor on the phone

Am               Em
 Day by day the seasons pass

     F                 G
And leave her life alone

Am                     Em
 But she'll go walking out that door

    F                  G
On some bright afternoon

Am                    Em
 To go and paint big cities

        F             G     F    G5
From a lonely attic room
[Chorus]
  Am                    G
Dreams flow across the heartland

F                     G5
 Feeding on the fires

  Am                G
Dreams transport desires

  F
Drive you when you're down

  Am                 G                    F
Dreams transport the ones who need to get out of town, out of town
[Solo] |Am |Em |F |F | 2x [Instrumental] |Dm |F |Bbsus2 Csus2 |Dm | [Bridge 2]
F
 It's understood

Bbsus2            Csus2
 By every single person

         Dm
Who'd be elsewhere if they could

F
 So far so good

Bbsus2              Csus2
 And life's not unpleasant

          Dm                 E5
In their little neighborhood
[Instrumental] |F A5 |Bbsus2 Csus2 | [Chorus]
  Am                    G
Dreams flow across the heartland

F                     G5
 Feeding on the fires

  Am                G
Dreams transport desires

  F
Drive you when you're down

  Am                 G                    F
Dreams transport the ones who need to get out of town, out of town

  Am                G
Dreams transport desires

  F
Drive you when you're down

  Am                 G                    F
Dreams transport the ones who need to get out of town
[Instrumental] |Am |Em |F |F |Am |Em |F | [Outro]
F             Am    Em   F
 They live in

               Am        Em    F
They dream in Middletown

               Am        Em    F      Am
They dream in Middletown
