          G
There's a road.
         D/G
Long and winding;
               C/G
The lights are blinding,
        G
But it gets there
                          D/G
Don't give up, don't look back.
                 C/G
There's a silver lining,
                G
It's out there somewhere.

C/G                       D/G
Everybody wants an answer,
G
Everybody needs a friend;
C/E             D/F#            G
We all need a shining star on which we can depend.
         Bm                Em7           C
And so tonight we're gonna wish upon a star
             D             G
We've never wished upon before. -
To find what you're looking for-

There'll be times - In your life
Yeah - When you'll be dancin' n' shit -
But you ain't gettin' it
But don't get disillusioned -
No, don't expect too much
'Cause if what you have is all you can get -
Just keep on trying
It just ain't happened yet

Chorus:
Everybody wants to be a winner - Everybody has a dream
We all need a shinin' star when things ain't what they seem
So tonight we're gonna wish upon a star
We never wished upon before
(Gotta get where you're headed for.)

Everybody wants some kindness - Everybody needs a break
We all need a shinin' star when things get hard to take
So tonight we're gonna wish upon a star
We never wished upon before
Yeah - Tonight we're gonna wish upon a star
We've never wished upon before

Gotta find what you're lookin' for
So don't get disillusioned
No, don't expect to much
Yeah - It's out there somewhere babe
