[Verse]
G D F G
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
D F G
And (Meant) for someone else but not for me
C G
Love was out to get me
C G
That's the way it seemed
C G D
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
[Chorus]
(no chord) G C G
Then I saw her face
C G C G
Now I'm a believer!
C G C G
Not a trace
C G C G
Of doubt in my mind.
C G
I'm in love
C G
I'm a believer
F
I couldn't leave her if I tried.
[Verse]
G D F G
I thought love was more or less a given (givin' ?) thing
D F G
Seems the more I gave, the less I got
C G
What's the use in tryin'?
C G
All you get is pain.
C G D
When I needed sunshine, I got rain.
[Chorus]
(no chord) G C G
Then I saw her face
C G C G
Now I'm a believer!

I'm a believer

I couldn't leave her if I tried.
(fade out)

Then I saw her face

Now I'm a believer!

C G C G
Of doubt in my mind.
