D      D9                Gm           A 
I can see, no matter how near you'll be 
        A7      D7M    D6 
You'll never belong to me 
          B7     Cdim  B7 
But I can dream, can't I 
Em        B5+             F#           F#7 
Can't I pretend that I'm locked in the bend  
    Bm 
Of your embrace 
     Bm7       Bm5-/7      E7 
For dreams are just like wine 
          Em5-/7      A7 
And I am drunk with mine 
D    D9                 Gm     A 
I'm aware my heart is a sad affair 
         A7        DM7     D6 
There's much disillusion there 
           B7    Cdim  B7 
But I can dream, can't I 
Em      Fdim 
Can't I adore you  
     D          D7M       Am     B7 
Although we are oceans apart 
   Em           Em7         Gm 
I can't make you open your heart 
           A9   Gdim   D    A7 
But I can dream, can't I 
        A7      D7M    D6 
You'll never belong to me 
   Em            Em7        Gm 
I can't make you open your heart 
           A9    Gdim  D 
But I can dream, can't I
