Verse One:
----------------
FMaj7 Ab
I Believe that when the hurting and the pain has gone
Gm7 EbMaj7 Gm
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
Gm7 EbMaj7 Gm
Is it absurd or am I being real?
FMaj7 Ab
I believe that if you knew just what these tears were for
Gm7 EbMaj7
They would just pour like every drop of rain
Gm/C Ab/D AbMaj7 Ab
(Intro)
That's why I believe it is too late for anyone to believe
Verse Two:
----------------
I believe that if you thought for a moment, took your time
You would not resign yourself, resign yourself to your fate
And I believe that if it's written in the stars, that's fine
I can't deny that I'm a Virgo too
I believe that if you're bristling while you hear this song
I could be wrong or have I hit a nerve?
That's why I believe it is too late for anyone to believe
Verse Three:
------------------
I believe that maybe somewhere in the darkness,
In the nighttime, in the storm,
In the casino
Casino Spanish eyes
I believe, no I can't believe that every time you hear a newborn scream
You just can't see the shaping of a life
The shaping of a life
