Intro
Em D Am G x2
[Verse 1]
Em
I've got a dream 'bout an angel on the beach
D
And the perfect waves are starting to come
Am
His hair is flying out in ribbons of gold
G
And his touch has got the power to stun
[Verse 2]
Em
I've got a dream 'bout an angel in the forest
D
Enchanted by the edge of a lake
Am
His body's flowing in the jewels alive
G
And the earth below is starting to shake
[Chorus]
Em
But I don't see any angels in the city
F
I don't hear any holy choirs sing
C
And if I can't get an angel
F G
I can still get a boy
Am
And a boy'd be the next best thing
G F
The next best thing to an angel
G C
A boy'd be the next best thing
[Instrumental]
C Bm
[Verse 3]
Em
I've got a dream 'bout a boy in a castle
D
And he's dancing like a cat on the stairs
C
He's got the fire of a prince in his eyes
G
And the thunder of a drum in his ears
[Verse 4]
Em
I've got a dream 'bout a boy on a star
D
Lookin' down upon the rim of the world
C
He's there all alone and dreamin' of someone like me
G
I'm not an angel but at least I'm a girl
[Chorus]
Em Bm
I've got a dream when the darkness is over
Am
We'll be lyin' in the rays of the sun
C F G
But it's only a dream and tonight is for real
C
You'll never know what it means
F G
But you'll know how it feels
Am
It's gonna be over (over)
