Intro

Verse 1

You can't run away forever, But there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start

 You want to shut down the night, You want to shut down the sun

 You want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart

Think of how we'd lay down together, We'd be listening to the radio so loud and so strong

 Every golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods

Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs

Chorus 1

I treasure your love, I never wanna lose it

You've been through the fires of hell, And I know you got the ashes to prove it

I treasure your love, I want to show you how to use it

You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt, And I know you got the scars to prove it

Bridge 1

Remember everything that I told you, And I'm telling you again that it's true

 When you're alone and afraid, And you're completley amazed

 To find there's nothing anybody can do, Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby

Chorus 2

There' always something magic, There's always something new

And when you really, really need it the most, That's when rock & roll dreams come through

The beat is your's forever, The beat is always true

And when you really, really need it the most, That's when rock & roll dreams come through, for you

Sax solo

Verse 2

Once upon a time was a backbeat, Once upon a time all the chords came to life

 And the angels had guitars even before they had wings

 If you hold onto a chorus you can get through the night

Chorus 3

I treasure your love, I never wanna lose it

You've been through the fires of hell, And I know you got the ashes to prove it

I treasure your love, I want to show you how to use it

You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt, And I know you got the scars to prove it

Bridge 2

Remember everything that I told you, and I'm telling you again that it's true

 You're never alone, 'cause you can put on the 'phones

 And let the drummer tell your heart what to do, Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby

Chorus 3

There' always something magic, There's always something new

And when you really, really need it the most, That's when rock & roll dreams come through

The beat is your's forever, The beat is always true

And when you really, really need it the most, That's when rock & roll dreams come through

 Oh oooohhh, for yooooooou, yeeeeeeah yeah yeah

 The beat is yours for ever, That's when rock & roll dreams come through (x4 & end however you like)
