Intro:  (G)  (Em)  (G)  (Em) 
 
(G) Met a girl, out in (Em) Monterray 
She had (Am) raven hair, (C) and eyes for (G) me 
She kissed me soft, oh but she (Em) loved me hard 
She (Am) tried to make me something, (D) I could never be 
        
Now, there's an (C/G) airplane on the runway 
That's (G) me on my way out 
(Am) Heading for some (D) place, I've never (G) been 
And I (C/G) never said goodbye 
I never (G) stopped to wonder why 
(Am) Sometimes, you just (D) go against the (G) wind 
 
Now (G) some guys, they always take the (Em) easy way 
They never (Am) rock the boat, (C) never make no (G) waves 
But me...I never could (Em) see it like that 
Life's a (Am) little too short - to (D) play it so safe 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
(Am) I'm just a dreamer (D) travellin' light 
(Am) Another rebel, on a (D) one-way flight 
 
(G) (Em) yeah...... 
Screamin' through the (G) night 
Runnin' from the (Em) one I love 
Runnin' from a (G) real love (Em) 
 
Fade out...
