Be Careful What You Wish For

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         
You believe your dreams, it's just
   Am      F
 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
A whispering breeze through the 
F       C
dancing trees
     F          Dm C  G/B
In a dance that never ends
   Am                    G/B  
At close of day, through golden 
  C
rains
     F            G/B
This kingdom, he ascends
                 C     G          
Keep it in your dreams, it's just 
  Am      F
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]
Continues after the ad
   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                          
Could burn you, and turn you head 
  G G/F G/E G
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          
Keep it in your dreams, it's just 
  Am      F
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                          
Could burn you, and turn you head 
  G G/F G/E G
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     
I've lived in dreams for far too 
C
long
    F               G/B
And now I'm growing old
              C      G            
Keep it in my dreams, it's just a 
Am      F
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                          
Could burn you, and turn you head 
  G G/F G/E G
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                          
Could burn you, and turn you head
