[Verse 1]

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.


[Chorus]

During the chorus guitar 2 should play the guitar 2 intro riff over each line of the chorus.

               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 (Riff below)
I'm a believer! I couldn't leave her if I tried.

[Verse 2]

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.


[Chorus]

               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 (Riff x2)
I'm a believer! I couldn't leave her if I tried.
