verse 2:
Broken in two
I know you are on to me
That I only come home
When I'm so all alone
But I do believe
verse 3:
Open the door
And show me your face tonight
I know it's true
No one heals me like you
And you hold the key
verse 4:
Never again
Would I turn away from you
I'm so heavy tonight
But your love is alright
And I do believe
05) CHORUS:
guitar one plays the same thing as in the verse
until "won't" where she goes on like a second
rythm guitar playing a F something chord.
guitar two plays the rythm guitar as indicated:
c#m7 B
That's not everything is gonna be
A
the way I think it ought to be
c#m7 B
It seems like everytime I try to make it
A
all comes down on me
c#m7 B F? (by guitar one until....)
Please say honestly you won't give up on me
...........now, then it goes on as in the verse four times)
E (by guitar two) A (guitar two again)
And I shall believe
E
And I shall believe
That's all ! Make sure to get a copy of "All I wanna do"
It's an amazing single with "I shall believe" recorded live.
The live version is much better than the studio and what a
voice Sheryl has.
