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

It's all we really got tonight
