E
When I was a little guy

   E
My daddy told me "Mister,

      E           C#m     
Don't ever try to climb too high

       F#m                A
'Cause it's the fall that gets ya

    F#m        B                 F#m
And some dreams can never come true

B                    F#m      B
  They'll never come true"


      E
Well, I heard every word he said

    E
But I don't guess I listened

    E            C#m
But every time I banged my head

F#m                  A
Against the wall or system

      F#m        B                 F#m
Yeah, some dreams don't ever come true

B                  F#m
  Don't ever come true

    B               A
But some dreams do



                  B
If you just hang on

                      F#m
And your heart is true

                       B
And your hope is strong



      E
Well, just because you've been around

    E
And had your poor heart broken

       E             C#m
That's no excuse for lyin' there

F#m                    A
Before the last word's spoken

       F#m        B                 F#m
'Cause some dreams don't ever come true

B                  F#m
  Don't ever come true

    B                  
Aw, but some dreams do

A                       B
  When you're feelin' low

                          F#m
And you think you're through

                        B
That's when you will know



      E
Yeah, when you wish upon a star

E
Buddy, don't you miss it

E                 C#m 
Catch it 'fore it falls too far

F#m               A
Keep it with your secrets

       F#m        B                 F#m
'Cause some dreams don't ever come true

B                  F#m
  Don't ever come true

B                  F#m
  Don't ever come true

    B              E
But some dreams do
