Believe

	  		 

G 
Old man Wrigley lived in that white house,   
D 
Down the street where I grew up.   
Em  
Momma used to send me over with things   
C                    
We struck a friendship up.   
G                                  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  
Lost his wife lost his baby.   
Em  
Broke down and asked him one time   
C                                    
How ya keep from going cra-zy  
                G                                D 
He said I'll see my wife and son in just a little while  
Em  
I asked him what he meant   
C  
He looked at me   
  
Smiled and said..   
  
<--Chorus-->  
  
                 G 
I raise my hands.   
  D  
Bow my head   
    Em                       
I'm finding more and more truth   
     C   
In the words written in red   
       Am                           
They tell me that there's more to life   
     C                          
Than just what I can see   
         G     D   
Oh I believe,   mmm-mmm  
  
  
Few years later I was off at college  
Talkin' to mom on the phone one night  
Getting all caught up on the gossip  
The ins and outs of the small town life  
She said oh by the way, son  
Old man Wrigley's died  
  
Later on that night  
I laid there thinkin' back  
Thought 'bout couple long-lost summers  
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh  
If there was ever anybody  
Deserved a ticket to the other side  
I'd be that sweet old man  
Who looked me in the eye said  
  
-Chorus- (Without the last line, 'Oh I Believe')  
  
Em   
I can't quote the book   
C  
The chapter or the verse   
   G                      
You can't tell me it all ends   
    A                    
In a slow ride in a hearse   
         Am 
You know I'm more and more convinced   
          G     
The longer that I live   
    Am 
This can't be   
    Am  
No this can't be   
            C                      D 
No this can't be all there is. 

Chorus...... 


            A      C        D        G          G     F 
........oh I-----I believe------I belive------(I be-lieve)  6 times fading out
