Aaron Tippin - I Believed
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:   G    C    G    C  G  
In a tiny town where the biggest things 
Were the water tower and a young boy's dreams, FI believed
In a Glittle house of simple means
Where doing without was a common scene, FI believed
On a Ddried up square of worthless earth
Where we scratched our living out of the dirt, GI believed
In a Dlittle brown church where I first heard
The choir sing and the preacher's word, GI believed, G/F#oh    EmI believed
And the Ccloser that I look within, the Dfurther I could see
And I Creally didn't have much other choice, Dso I belGieved
In a high-rise world of steel and glass
Where a man dies young if he don't think fast, I believed
On the streets where the truth is hard to find
And what's in it for me is the bottom line, I believed
In a place where people don't care
They turn their backs like you're not there, I believed
Yeah, where anything goes and usually does
I held my breath and bit my tongue, I believed, oh, I believed
The closer that I looked within, the further I could see
And I really didn't have much other choice, so I believed
BRIDGE:
In a Dhigher place, in a dGeeper faith
In a Dpower stronger than you or me I belGieved
INSTRUMENTAL:   G    F    C    G    F    C  G  
Now when they put that granite on my grave
All I want that stone to say is FI believed
In Gwhere I'm from and the woman I loved
The job I did and god above, FI believed, GI believed, I believed
OUTRO:   G    F    C    G    F    C  G

INTRO:

In a tiny town where the biggest things

Were the water tower and a young boy's dreams, I believed

In a little house of simple means

Where doing without was a common scene, I believed

On a dried up square of worthless earth

Where we scratched our living out of the dirt, I believed

In a little brown church where I first heard

G G/F# Em

The choir sing and the preacher's word, I believed, oh I believed

And the closer that I look within, the further I could see

C D G

And I really didn't have much other choice, so I believed

In a high-rise world of steel and glass

Where a man dies young if he don't think fast, I believed

On the streets where the truth is hard to find

And what's in it for me is the bottom line, I believed

In a place where people don't care

They turn their backs like you're not there, I believed

Yeah, where anything goes and usually does

I held my breath and bit my tongue, I believed, oh, I believed

The closer that I looked within, the further I could see

And I really didn't have much other choice, so I believed

In a higher place, in a deeper faith

In a power stronger than you or me I believed
