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

                              D    F           G
  And (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
       Disappointment haunted all my dreams


  (no chord)     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
  I'm in love

  C            G
       I'm a believer

             F
  I couldn't leave her if I tried.


  G                  D       F      G
  I thought love was more or less a given (givin' ?) thing

                        D    F           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
       When I needed sunshine, I got rain.



  (no chord)     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
  I'm in love

  C            G
       I'm a believer

             F
  I couldn't leave her if I tried.



  REPEAT CHORUS AND FADE:
  (no chord)     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
  I'm in love

  C            G
       I'm a believer

             F
  I couldn't leave her if I tried.

  I[G] thought love was o[D]nly true in f[G]airy tales.
  M[G]eant for someone e[D]lse but not for [G]me.
  L[C]ove was out to g[G]et me; 
  T[C]hat's the way it s[G]eemed;
  D[C]isappointment h[G]aunted all my d[D]reams  


  {soc}                        
  Then I saw her f[G]ace [C]      [G]
  Now I'm a beli[G]ever [C]      [G]
  Not a tr[G]ace [C]     [G] of doubt in my m[G]ind [C]      [G]
  I'm in l[G]o---[C]ve; I'm a beli[G]ever, I couldn't le[F]ave her if I t[D7]ried.
  {eoc}


  I thought love was more or less a givin' thing
  It seems the more I gave the less I got
  What's the use in tryin'
  All you get is pain
  When I needed sunshine I got rain.

  {c:Chorus}
