[Intro] C [Verse]
                           F  C
The river runs through the valley

    F/A         G/B    C
The sheep graze on the hill

                     F         C
The sun so high in a boundless sky

       F        Dm     G/B
Shines down the day, until

    Am                 G/B      C
The night declares the watchful moon

   F                 G/B
To guard us from all ill

                 C      G            Am      F
You believe your dreams, it's just a fantasy

         C              G     C
A secret world that can never be
[Verse]
                     F    C
A sprite of Nature's mystery

     F/A    G/B        C
From silver clouds she sends

                                F       C
A whispering breeze through the dancing trees

     F          Dm C  G/B
In a dance that never ends

   Am                    G/B    C
At close of day, through golden rains

     F            G/B
This kingdom, he ascends

                 C     G            Am      F
Keep it in your dreams, it's just a fantasy

         C              G     C
A secret world that can never be
[Pre-Chorus]
      Dm          C        F
While even as the earth is turning

          Bb     F         C  F
Something deep inside it's furnace

        Dm         C      F
Nothing comes from softly yearning

Bb      F       C
Here at wishing time...
[Chorus]
   G                C
Be careful what you wish for

G                            C
Dreams look different in the light of day

   G                C
Be careful what you wish for

     G              C
That deep desire to have your way

      D                            G G/F G/E G
Could burn you, and turn you head around...
[Verse]
     C                F       C
Come walking from the dawn of time

    F/A      G/B     C
The winds of change arise

                      F         C
With angels cheering, cheer for you

        F       Dm        G/B
And the foolish mound may rise

    Am                G/B    C
The fool and all, all reason mouth

F               G/B
Singing as they rise

                C      G            Am      F
Keep it in your dreams, it's just a fantasy

         C              G     C
A secret world that can never be
[Pre-Chorus]
    Dm          C        F
But even as the earth is turning

          Bb     F         C  F
Something deep inside it's furnace

        Dm         C      F
Nothing comes from softly yearning

Bb      F       C
Here at wishing time...
[Chorus]
   G                C
Be careful what you wish for

G                            C
Dreams look different in the light of day

   G                C
Be careful what you wish for

     G              C
That deep desire to have your way

      D                            G G/F G/E G
Could burn you, and turn you head around...
[Verse]
       C             F     C
In the fairy forest, I was lost

      F/A       G/B     C
While searching for the gold

                      F    C
With hopes of joy and happiness

   F      Dm      G/B
If riches I could hold

     Am                  G/B     C
I've lived in dreams for far too long

    F               G/B
And now I'm growing old

              C      G            Am      F
Keep it in my dreams, it's just a fantasy

         C              G     C
A secret world that can never be
[Chorus]
   G                C
Be careful what you wish for

G                            C
Dreams look different in the light of day

   G                C
Be careful what you wish for

     G              C
That deep desire to have your way

      D                            G G/F G/E G
Could burn you, and turn you head around...
[Chorus]
                    C
Be careful what you wish for

G                            C
Dreams look different in the light of day

   G                C
Be careful what you wish for

     G              C
That deep desire to have your way

      D                            G G/F G/E G
Could burn you, and turn you head around...
