Intro: D 

D 
If I believed in wishes 
G/D 
As silly as it seems. 
E 
I'd find that hidden cave, 
Turn back the sands of time 
     C/E          C#dim/E 
And save you. 
D 
If I believed in dreams 

D 
If I believed in magic 
G/D 
If I believed in good 
E 
I'd be the best vizier, 
I'd make our troubles disappear 
   C/E             C#dim/E  
If I believed I could. 

Bmin/D 
But wishes are dreams 
And dreams are pretend 
C                                   Cm 
So science and reason win out in the end. 

Em                                 C#dim/E 
Science says you're dead and gone forever, 
D                                Bmin/D 
Reason says I'm talking to the air, 
Em 
But something in my heart 
C#dim/E 
Some secret hidden part 
F#m                            C#dim/E 
Illogically insists that you are there. 
A/E 
Somewhere. 

D 
If I believed in wishes 
G/D 
If I can find the key 
E 
Perhaps it's not to late 
To change the course of fate 
C/E                               C#dim/E 
Cause after all I must be pretty great 
D 
If you believed in me.
