G                  D            G
I thought love was only true in fairy tales.

G                 D                G
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       N.C.
  Disappointment haunted all my dreams.

 

 

 

               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 (one stroke then mute) C (one stroke)
I'm in love,                    ooh

        G (one stroke)     F (one stroke) D 
I'm a believer! I couldn't leave her if I tried.

G                  D              G
I thought love was more or less a given thing,

G                D                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     N.C.
  When I needed sunshine I got rain.
