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
