     CYou can't buy a dreamDm, then expect your schemesEm, to appear brand new
     FLike the way you doEm, it's not hard to findDm, deep inside your mind
     Which rCoad will tGake yFou homeC  
     Now you know that rain, never fDmalls in vain, for the sEmeed must grow
     FIts glory showsEm, in the summer sunDm, while our world is young
     They reCach to toGuch tFhe skyC  
     I wish we could fly, I wish we could fly, how I wish, C/Bwe could Amfly
     I wCish we could fly, I wish we could fly, how I wish, C/Bwe could AmflyG  F  C  
     Then we'd see, far more clearly, maybe then we'd know
     The best way we should goC/B,   mAman just has to grGow, anFd grow, anCd grow
     All the air we breathe, and the waDmrmth we need, it's Emgiven to us free
     FLike you loving meEm, throughout our daysDm, in so many ways
     Helps me reCach, to toGuch mFy skyC  
     But I can't explain, self-inflDmicted pain, when there's rEmoom for all
     To plFay life's gameEm, and as we knowDm, our love must grow
     Or we'll nCever toGuch tFhe skyC
