Lyrics

I can’t be what you ex (C#m)pect of me.

But I’m (D)try ing ev ’ry day with all I (F#m)do

and (C#m)do not (F#m)say.

Here, on the edge of the a byss,

know ing (Bm)ev ’ry thing in my whole life has (F#m)led to this.

And so I pull in side my (E)self, close the walls, put up my (F#m)guard.

I prac tice ev ’ry sin gle (E)day for this, so why is it so (Bm)hard?

I (A)have to ’Cause I can’t show you I’m not as (Em7)cold as I (D)seem.

There are (Dm)things you can not know,

and it’s (F#m)dan (Bm)ger (Bb)ous

(Bbm)to dream.

I know I’ll nev er see what that ex (C#m)sun ny day

when this (D)trial is fi n’lly through and it could (F#m)just

be (C#m)me and (F#m)you.

I can’t the dwell on what we’ve lost

and how (Bm)se cre cy and si lence comes at (F#m)such a cost.

And I wish I could tell the (E)truth, show you who’s be hind the (F#m)door.

I wish you knew what all this (E)pan to mime and pag eant ry was (Bm)for.

I (A)have to be I so cau tious I’m and as (Em7)you’re so ex (D)treme.

We’re are (Dm)dif f’rent, you and I,

and it’s (F#m)dan (Bm)ger (Bb)ous

(Bbm)to dream.

I know I’ll (F#m)dan (Bm)ger (Bb)ous

to (A)dream.

It’s (G)dan ger ous to wish I could make (F)choic es of my own.

(Eb)Dan ger ous to (Eb)e ven have that (Fm)thought.

I’m (C)dan ger ous just (Dm)stand ing here for (B)ev ’ry one to see.

If (A)I let go of rules, who knows how (Dmaj7)dan ger ous I’d (C#7)be?

Why right now would I make this mis take?

How could I let my con cen tra tion break?

(A)Queen

a noint ed, our (C#m)cho

sen daugh ter, our (D)bless ed queen be (A)hold.

I can’t be lieve I’m (C#m)stand ing here.

Did I (D)real ly make it through?

Fa ther, I (F#m)did it!

Now what (C#m)do I (F#m)do?

I can’t stop smil ing; how strange!

Does this (Bm)mean that things are dif f’rent?

Could they (F#m)real ly change?

And could I o pen up that (E)door and fi n’lly see you face to (F#m)face?

I guess a queen can change the (E)rules but not the rea sons they’re in (Bm)place.

I can’t be what you ex pect of me, and I’m (Em7)not what I (D)seem,

but (Dm)I would love to know you.

Is it (F#m)dan ger (F)ous

to

dream?
