Song: When You Believe
Tuning:Standard
[Verse]
Em D
Many nights we've prayed
Bm Em
With no proof anyone could hear
Em G
In our hearts a hopeful song
Am Bm
We barely understood
E D
Now we are not afraid
Em
Although we know there's much to fear
C G
We were moving mountains
Am Bm D
Long before we knew we could
[Chorus]
G
There can be miracles
D/F#
When you believe
Em D
Though hope is frail
C
It's hard to kill
G
Who knows what miracles
D/F#
You can achieve
Em D C
When you believe, somehow you will
Am D Em
You will when you believe
[Verse]
Em D
Easy to despair
Bm Em
When all you hear is fear and lies
Em G
Easy just to run and hide
Am Bm
To frightened to begin
E D
But if we dare to dare
D Em
Don't wait for answers from the skies
C G
Each of us can look inside
Am D
And hear this song within
[Chorus]
A
There can be miracles
E/G#
When you believe
F#m E
Though hope is frail
D
It's hard to kill
A
Who knows what miracles
E/G#
You can achieve
F#m E D
When you believe, somehow you will
Bm E F#m
You will when you believe
[Chorus]
F#m E/G# A E A/C#
They don't always happen when you ask
F#m E/G# A E A/C#
And it's easy to give in to your fears
D A/C# E
But when you're blinded by your faith
A E/G# F#m E
Can't see your way clear through the rain
F#m
A small but still resilient voice
E
Says hope is very near
[Outro]
