Rush - Middletown Dreams: chords

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

But he's still heading down those tracks
Any day now for sure
Another day as drab as today
Is more than a man can endure

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

The boy walks with his best friend
Through the fields of early May
They walk awhile in silence
One close, one far away

But he'd be climbing on that bus
Just him and his guitar
To blaze across the heavens
Like a brilliant shooting star

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 G
From a lonely attic room

Chorus

F
It's understood
A#               C
By every single person
         Dm
Who'd be elsewhere if they could
F
So far so good
A#                 C
And life's not unpleasant
          Dm
In their little neighborhood

Chorus:
Dreams flow across the heartland
Feeding on the fires
Dreams transport desires
Drive you when you're down
Dreams transport the ones
who need to get out of town
Out of town

Dreams transport desires
Drive you when you're down
Dreams transport the ones
who need to get out of town

F           Am Em F
They live in
               Am        Em F
They dream in Middletown
               Am        Em F Am
They dream in Middletown
