[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

Nothing comes from softly yearning

Here at wishing time...

Be careful what you wish for

Dreams look different in the light of day

Be careful what you wish for

That deep desire to have your way

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]

Be careful what you wish for

That deep desire to have your way

Could burn you, and turn you head around...
[Chorus]

Be careful what you wish for

Dreams look different in the light of day

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...
