[Intro]
C G D G
One, two, three
[Verse 1]
C G D G C G D G
I found boxes of first CDs tryin' to get my office clean
C G D B Em C
Took ten years of folks givin' them to me 'til I sat down
C G D G
And I saw hesitant poses and torn up jeans
C G D G
In cover photos friends took for free
C G D B Em C
For the six minute songs, and all their lifelong dreams the world turned down
[Chorus]
Em C G D
They're just dreamin' up some life out on the road, oh
Em C G D
When all I dream about's the day that I'll be home
Em D C G
I'd long forgotten how it feels to chase a dream
Em D C
Thank God for boxes of first CDs (yeah)
[Instrumental]
G D C G D C
[Verse 2]
C G D G
On through this Rolodex of railroad tracks and fresh-cut hair
C G D G
I see Joy who won some Grammys and is now a millionaire
C G D B Em C
Looks different now than she does right there, but that's how it goes
C G D G
As for the rest, I bet they're teachers or pastors now
C G D G
Pictured in jackets girlfriends picked out
C G D B Em C
All their hometowns turned these up, all the labels turned them down, and never wrote (whoa)
[Chorus]
Em C G D
They're just dreamin' up some life out on the road, oh
Em C G D
When all I dream about's the day that I'll be home
Em D C G
I'd long forgotten how it feels to chase a dream
Em D C
Thank God for boxes of first CDs (yeah)
[Instrumental]
G D C G D C
[Bridge]
C G D G
A thrift store jacket and ten less pounds
C G D G
Lookin' like a fool in some big field with my bare feet on the ground
C G D B Em C
Bad song titles and worse drum sounds, I didn't know
[Chorus]
Em C G D
That all my dreams had come true out here on the road
Em C G D
I never dreamed that I could call this life my own
Em D C G
Thought I'd forgotten how it feels to chase a dream
Em D C G
But thank God for how it feels to chase a dream
Em D C
And thank God for boxes of first CDs (yeah)
