A river (G7)runs through both our (C)hearts
A thousand (F)shades of something (C)new
I cannot (G7)wait to play for (C)you.

(F)So play your songs (C)and make them real
There's a (G7)place for all we (C)feel
And it's (F)closer than it (C)seems
Come and (G7)find your land of (C)dreams.

Land of (F)dreams,land of (C)dreams
Come and (G7)find your land of (C)dreams
And it's (F)closer than it (C)seems
Come and (G7)find your land of (C)dreams.

(F)The world is (C)smaller in our eyes
The city (G7)streets and moonlit (C)skies
The shining (F)waves and ever(C)greens
I will (G7)give you every(C)thing

(F)Well you can hear (C)the bells and strings
Just wait (G7)until you make them (C)ring
And it's (F)closer than it (C)seems
Come and (G7)find your land of (C)dreams.
