'Cause it's the fall that gets ya
 
F#m B F#m
And some dreams can never come true

They'll never come true"

Against the wall or system

But some dreams do

If you just hang on

And your hope is strong
 
E
Well, just because you've been around
 
E
And had your poor heart broken
 
E C#m
That's no excuse for lyin' there
 
F#m A
Before the last word's spoken
 
F#m B F#m
'Cause some dreams don't ever come true
 
B F#m
Don't ever come true
 
B
Aw, but some dreams do
