Dave Cousins - Can You Believe
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
C F C F (3x) C
[Verse 1]
F
You and I spoke in confidence
C
About the turning of the years
F
We both told stories that could break a heart
C G
We brushed aside our tears
[Verse 2]
C G
You spoke of one desire
C G
I turned away to go
C G
You spoke to me of solitude
Did you really know
Can you believe the words of love?
[Instrumental]
C F C F (2x) C
[Verse 3]
F
You and I spoke of tenderness
C
In a world filled with rage
F
We spoke at length of our uncertainty
C G
And tomorrow's headline page
[Verse 4]
C G
Seven hills to the city
C G
Another space, another time
C G
We were deep in conversation
In a vacant state of mind
Can you believe the words of love?
[Instrumental]
C F C F C F
[Bridge]
Dm7 C
A second in a lifetime
G F
A time for letting go
Dm7 C
A painting in the manner
F G
Of Michelangelo
[Instrumental]
C F C F (2x) C
[Verse 5]
F
You and I spoke of innocence
C
There are victims of this crime
F
We both believed in our sincerity
C G
I am taken back in time
[Verse 6]
C G
The calling of the ocean
C G
The movement of the sand
C G
I could see my dreams forever
Running slowly through my hand
Can you believe the words of love?
[Outro]
