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


(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.


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.



(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.

Now I'm a believer!

C     G      C    G
Not a trace

        C      G      C     G
Of doubt in my mind.

I'm in love

C            G
     I'm a believer

           F
I couldn't leave her if I tried.
