[Verse 1]
Fmaj7 Ab
I Believe that when the hurting and the pain has gone
Gm Ebmaj7 Em7b5
We will be strong, oh yes we will be strong
Fmaj7 Ab
And I believe that if I'm crying while I write these words
Gm Ebmaj7 Em7b5
Is it absurd or am I being real?
Fmaj7 Ab
I believe that if you knew just what these tears were for
Gm Ebmaj7
They would just pour like every drop of rain
Gm/C Abmaj7 Ab Gm
That's why I believe it is too late for anyone to believe

[Verse 2]
Fmaj7 Ab
I believe that if you thought for a moment, took your time
Gm Ebmaj7 Em7b5
You would not resign yourself, resign yourself to your fate
Fmaj7 Ab
And I believe that if it's written in the stars, that's fine
Gm Ebmaj7 Em7b5
I can't deny that I'm a Virgo too
Fmaj7 Ab
I believe that if you're bristling while you hear this song
Gm Ebmaj7
I could be wrong or have I hit a nerve?
Gm/C Abmaj7 Ab Gm
That's why I believe it is too late for anyone to believe

Em7
[Verse 3]
Fmaj7 Ab
I believe that maybe somewhere in the darkness, in the nighttime, in the storm,
Gm Ebmaj7 Em7b5
In the casino, Casino Spanish eyes
Fmaj7 Ab
And I believe, no I can't believe that every time you hear a newborn scream
Gm Ebmaj7
You just can't see the shaping of a life
Gm/C Abmaj7 Ab Gm
The shaping of a life
