F C F Bb
Who can tell just how it starts Angry words and broken hearts
F Bb C F
Til silently we sit apart You and I
F C F Bb
But in a while the anger's gone And we forget who's right or wrong
F Bb C F C Bb C F
Then one of us will end it all With just a smile
F C F Bb
We believe in happy endings Never breaking only bending
F Bb C F
Taking time enough for mending The hurt inside
F C F Bb
We believe in new beginnings Giving in and forgiving
F Bb C F
We believe in happy endings You and I

Just a word is all it takes And so it passes the silence breaks
C# F# G# C#
And looking back it makes us ache For what we've done
C# G# C# F#
And so we cling to-gether now And wonder why we're oh so proud

When all that matters anyhow Is our love
F C F Bb
We believe in happy endings Never breaking only bending
F Bb C F
Taking time enough for mending The hurt inside
F C F Bb
We believe in new beginnings Giving in and forgiving
F Bb C F
We believe in happy endings You and I
