Capo 2
[Verse]
OGld man Wrigley lived in that white house,
DD/F#own the street where I grew up.
MEmomma used to send me over with things
WGe struck a friendship G7up.
I Cspent a few long summers, Dout on his old porch Gswing.
SGays he was in the war went in the Navy.
LD/F#ost his wife lost his baby.
BEmroke down and asked him one time
HGow ya keep from goG7ing cra-zy
HCe said I'll see my wife and son in just a little while
I Gasked him what he meant
HDe looked at me and smiled
[Chorus]
said I raise my hGands.
Bow my hD/F#ead
I'm fCinding more and more truth
In the Cwords written in red
They teAmll me that there's moEm7re to life
Than jCust what I can seDe
Oh I belieGve, mmm-mmm D  
[Verse]
FGew years later I was off at college
TD/F#alkin' to mom on the phone one night
GEmetting all caught up on the gossip
The inGs and outs of the sG7mall town life
SChe said oh by the way, son
DOld man Wrigley has died
LGater on that night
I D/F#laid there thinkin' back
TEmhought 'bout couple long-lost summers
GI didn't know whether to cG7ry or laugh
ICf there was ever anybody
DCeserved a ticket to the other side
IG'd be that sweet old man
WDho looked me in the eye
[Chorus]
said I raise my hGands.
Bow my hD/F#ead
I'm fCinding more and more truth
In the Cwords written in red
They teAmll me that there's moEm7re to life
Than jCust what I can seDe
[Bridge]
I Emcan't quote the book
TB7he chapter or the verse
YD6ou can't tell me it all ends
In a sA7low ride in a hearse
You kAmnow I'm more and mEm7ore convinced
The lConger that I live
This cAman't be
No this caEm7n't be
No this caCn't be all there isD.
[Chorus]
Lord I raise my hGands.
Bow my hD/F#ead
and I'm fCinding more and more truth
In the Cwords written in red
They teAmll me that there's moEm7re to this
Than jCust what I can seDe
I beliEmeve - oh A7I...
