[Intro]
Em E9sus4 Am7 G
Em E9sus4 Am7 G D/F#
[Verse 1]
Em
I got a dream about an angel on the beach
E9sus4
And the perfect waves are starting to come
Am7
His hair is flying out in ribbons of gold
G
In his touch he's got the power to stun
Em
I got a dream about an angel in the forest
E9sus4
Enchanted by the edge of a lake
Am7
His body's glowing in the jewels of light
G
And the earth below him starting to shake
Em
But I don't see any angels in the city
F
I don't hear any holy choir sing
C F G
And if I can't get an angel, I can still get a boy
Am
And a boy'll be the next best thing
G F
The next best thing to an angel
G C
A boy'll be the next best thing

C B
[Verse 2]
Em
I got a dream about a boy in a castle
D
And he's dancing like a cat on the stairs
C
He's got the fire of a prince in his eyes
Bm
And the thunder of a drum in his ears
Em
I got a dream about a boy on a star
D
Looking down upon the rim of the world
C
He's there all alone and dreaming of someone like me
Bm
I'm not an angel, but at least I'm a girl
[Pre-Chorus]
Em Bm7
I got a dream when the darkness is over
F/C
We'll be lying in the rings of the sun
C F G
But it's only a dream and tonight is for real
C
You'll never know what it means
F G
But you'll know how it feels
Am
It's gonna be over (over)
Bb
Before you know it's begun (before you know it's begun)
F
It's all we really got tonight
Bb C
Stop your crying hold on
F Bb C
Tonight! Before you know it, it's gone
Dm C
Tonight! Tonight is what it means to be young (Tonight is what it means to be
young)
[Chorus]
F/C
Let the revels begin
Dm7
Let the fire be started
Bb
We're dancing for the restless
C
And the broken hearted
F/C
Let the revels begin
Dm7
Let the fire be started
Bb
We're dancing for the desperate
C
And the broken hearted
F/C
Let the revels begin

Let the fire be started (Tonight is what it means to be young)

We're dancing for the restless
C
And the broken hearted (Before you know it, it's gone)

Say a prayer in the darkness, for the magic to come

No matter what it seems, tonight is what it means to be young
