[Intro]
Am G Am G

     Am              G           Am                 G
When I was young I'd sit outside all night long and watch the lights
       F                 C                  G
Of the big trucks on the highway rollin' on
  Am                G        Am            G
I wished that I was in a car drivin' fast, drivin' far,
       F                    C                   G
And at seventeen that's ex- actly what I'd done

[Bridge]
    F                                 G
And to this day, I don't know why I'm restless
        Am              F                  G
I guess some hearts are simply born to run

[Chorus]
F   C            G
Big dreams, high hopes
        Am
They've led me through the hard times
       F                  Em                  G
Like a north star shinin' showing me where to go
             F                    G
They're what got this whole thing started
             Am               Em              F
They're what keep this cowboy ridin' down the road
    C       G    C
Big dreams, high hopes

[Instrumental]
Am G Am G 

    Am                 G            Am            G
I'm older and a little wiser now, a wide eyed boy who set out
   F                   C                    G
To change the world is gone but not forgot- ten
  Am                     G              Am                   G
I still chase lights and wish on stars, that's what got that boy this far
    F                 C                             Am
And still feels good, there ain't no point in stop- pin'

[Bridge]
    F                               G
But even though I hardly ever catch 'em
Am            F                     G
God, don't it just feel good to try

[Chorus]
F   C            G
Big dreams, high hopes
        Am
They've led me through the hard times
       F                  Em                  G
Like a north star shinin' showing me where to go
             F                    G
They're what got this whole thing started
             Am               Em              F
They're what keep this cowboy ridin' down the road
    C       G    C     Am
Big dreams, high hopes

[Bridge]
F                                    G
We're all out here tryin' to be hap- py
      Am    F                   G
To be happy all you really need is

[Chorus]
F   C            G
Big dreams, high hopes
        Am
They've led me through the hard times
       F                  Em                  G
Like a north star shinin' showing me where to go
             F                    G
They're what got this whole thing started
             Am               Em              F
They're what keep this cowboy ridin' down the road
    C       G    C      F   C       G    C
Big dreams, high hopes, big dreams, high hopes
