              D      D9                Gm           A 
I can see, no matter how near you'll be 
 
        A7      Dmaj7  D6 
You'll never belong to me, 
 
          B7     Cdim  B7 
But I can dream, can't I? 
 
 Em        B+             F#           F#7 
Can't I pretend that I'm locked in the bend  
 
    Bm 
Of your embrace? 
 
     Bm7       Bm7/5-      E7 
For dreams are just like wine, 
 
          Em7/5-      A7 
And I am drunk with mine. 
 
 
 
D    D9                 Gm     A 
I'm aware my heart is a sad affair; 
 
         A7        Dmaj7   D6 
There's much disillusion there, 
 
           B7    Cdim  B7 
But I can dream, can't I? 
 
 Em      Fdim 
Can't I adore you,  
 
     D          Dmaj7     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? 
 
 
(Repeat second verse) 
 
 
(Last Time) 
 
   Em            Em7        Gm 
I can't make you open your heart 
 
           A9    Gdim  D 
But I can dream, can't I?
