[INTRO]
[C]

[VERSE]
The river runs through the [F]val[C]ley
The [F/A]sheep graze [G/B]on the [C]hill
The sun so high in a [F]boundless [C]sky
Shines [F]down the [Dm]day, un[G/B]til
The [Am]night declares the [G/B]watchful [C]moon
To [F]guard us from all [G/B]ill
You believe your [C]dreams,[G] it's just a [Am]fantasy [F]
A secret [C]world that can [G]never [C]be

[VERSE]
A sprite of Nature's [F]myste[C]ry
From [F/A]silver [G/B]clouds she [C]sends
A whispering breeze through the [F]dancing [C]trees
In a [F]dance that [Dm]nev[C]er [G/B]ends
At [Am]close of day, through [G/B]golden [C]rains
This [F]kingdom, he a[G/B]scends
Keep it in your d[C]reams,[G] it's just a [Am]fantasy [F]
A secret [C]world that can [G]never [C]be

[PRE-CHORUS]
While [Dm]even as the [C]earth is [F]turning
Something [Bb]deep in[F]side it's [C]fur[F]nace
Nothing [Dm]comes from [C]softly [F]yearning
[Bb]Here at [F]wishing [C]time...

[CHORUS]
Be [G]careful what you [C]wish for
[G]Dreams look different in the [C]light of day
Be [G]careful what you [C]wish for
That [G]deep desire to [C]have your way
Could [D]burn you, and turn you head a[G]ro[G/F]und.[G/E] .. [G]

[VERSE]
Come [C]walking from the [F]dawn of [C]time
The [F/A]winds of [G/B]change a[C]rise
With angels cheering, [F]cheer for [C]you
And the [F]foolish [Dm]mound may [G/B]rise
The [Am]fool and all, all [G/B]reason [C]mouth
[F]Singing as they [G/B]rise
Keep it in your [C]dreams,[G] it's just a [Am]fantasy [F]
A secret [C]world that can [G]never [C]be

[PRE-CHORUS]
But [Dm]even as the [C]earth is [F]turning
Something [Bb]deep in[F]side it's [C]fur[F]nace
Nothing [Dm]comes from [C]softly [F]yearning
[Bb]Here at [F]wishing [C]time...

[CHORUS]
Be [G]careful what you [C]wish for
[G]Dreams look different in the [C]light of day

[VERSE]
In the [C]fairy forest, [F]I was [C]lost
While [F/A]searching [G/B]for the [C]gold
With hopes of joy and [F]happi[C]ness
If [F]riches [Dm]I could [G/B]hold
I've [Am]lived in dreams for [G/B]far too [C]long
And [F]now I'm growing [G/B]old
Keep it in my [C]dreams,[G] it's just a [Am]fantasy [F]
A secret [C]world that can [G]never [C]be

[CHORUS]
Be [G]careful what you [C]wish for
[G]Dreams look different in the [C]light of day

Be careful what you [C]wish for
[G]Dreams look different in the [C]light of day
