I capo this on the third fret for an interesting effect and
because peter is a baritone and i'm a tenor.
G arpeggio
G - C - G - C
G C G C G C Em D
I been drivin sixteen hours, this rain is like a metronome
G C G C G C m D
and on my radio they're talking bout Jesus. Talkin all about coming home.
Am C Am Em
Well I don't know a thing about it. I close my ears and live without it
Am C Em D
you can hear too much when you're alone.
G C G C G C Em D
Like children's voices and lovers moaning or a dry wind blowing through a
river bed
G C G C G C Em D
All these memories, well they're all wrapped up Like a ball of yarn inside
my head
Am C Am Em
Now a semi's moving up behind me. Its headlights they all but blind me.
Am C Em (D)
But it's funny, for the first time I can see.
Em C G C
I have believed in money, but all I got was greed
Em C G C
I have believed in vengeance, but all I did was bleed
Em C G C
I have believed in fame, but fame turned its back on me
Em C D Em
If I had only believed in love I could have been set free.
G C G C G C Em D
I often wonder does it matter or is this all a worthless joke
G C G C G C Em D
are we just atoms conceived in silence awaiting our turn to fly like smoke
Am C Am Em
I'd do anything to lay beside you, I'd bring you all the things that I
denied you
Am C Em (D)
I'd say the words I seldom spoke
Em C G C
I have believed in money, but all I got was greed
Em C G C
I have believed in vengeance, but all I did was bleed
Em C G C
I have believed in fame, but fame turned its back on me
Em C D Em
If I had only believed in love I could have been set free.
(break - chorus)
Em C G C
I have believed in money, but all I got was greed
Em C G C
I have believed in vengeance, but all I did was bleed
Em C G C
I have believed in fame, but fame turned its back on me
Em C D
If I had only believed in love.
Em C D
If I had only believed in love.
Em C D
If I had only believed in love.
Em
I could have been set free
