Believe

	 
[Verse]
 G 
Old man Wrigley lived in that white house,   
 D/F# 
Down the street where I grew up.   
 Em 
Momma used to send me over with things   
 G                     G7 
We struck a friendship up.   
 C                          D                      G 
I spent a few long summers,   out on his old porch swing.   
 G 
Says he was in the war went in the Navy.   
 D/F# 
Lost his wife lost his baby.   
 Em 
Broke down and asked him one time   
 G                 G7 
How ya keep from going cra-zy  
 C 
He said I'll see my wife and son in just a little while  
 G 
I asked him what he meant   
 D 
He looked at me and smiled
[Chorus]
                 G 
said I raise my hands.   
        D/F# 
Bow my head   
     C 
I'm finding more and more truth   
       C 
In the words written in red   
       Am                   Em7 
They tell me that there's more to life   
      C                D 
Than just what I can see   
          G                 D 
Oh I believe,   mmm-mmm 
[Verse]
 G 
Few years later I was off at college  
 D/F# 
Talkin' to mom on the phone one night  
 Em 
Getting all caught up on the gossip  
      G                  G7 
The ins and outs of the small town life  
 C 
She said oh by the way, son  
 D 
    Old man Wrigley has died  
 G 
Later on that night  
 D/F# 
I laid there thinkin' back  
 Em 
Thought 'bout couple long-lost summers  
 G                            G7 
    I didn't know whether to cry or laugh  
 C 
If there was ever anybody  
 C 
Deserved a ticket to the other side  
 G 
I'd be that sweet old man  
 D 
Who looked me in the eye 
[Chorus]
                 G 
said I raise my hands.   
        D/F# 
Bow my head   
     C 
I'm finding more and more truth   
       C 
In the words written in red   
       Am                   Em7 
They tell me that there's more to life   
      C                D 
Than just what I can see 
[Bridge]
 Em 
I can't quote the book   
 B7 
The chapter or the verse   
 D6 
You can't tell me it all ends   
      A7 
In a slow ride in a hearse   
     Am                Em7 
You know I'm more and more convinced   
     C 
The longer that I live   
      Am 
This can't be   
          Em7 
No this can't be   
          C                  D 
No this can't be all there is.
[Chorus]
                 G 
Lord I raise my hands.   
        D/F# 
Bow my head   
         C 
and I'm finding more and more truth   
       C 
In the words written in red   
       Am                   Em7 
They tell me that there's more to this   
      C                D 
Than just what I can see   
      Em       A7 
I believe - oh I...
[Outro]
      G             F 
I believe  (I be- lieve)
