Biography:
Zachary Barnett (vocals), James Adam Shelley (guitar/banjo), Matt Sanchez (drums), and Dave Rublin (bass) started the band "American Authors" Boston, Massachusetts in 2012, but soon moved to Brooklyn, New York. As their band name suggests, this quartet writes stories through their music to share their struggles, high and lows, and changes.
Soon after forming, American Authors caught the attention of Island Records, which signed the band to a record deal.

[Chorus] (x2)
C
Im just a believer
C
That things will get better
Am
Some can take it or leave it
F
But I dont wanna let it go
[Verse]

Im a little bit sheltered
C
Im a little bit scared
Am
Im a little bit nervous
F
Im goin no where
C
Im a little bit jealous
C
Im a little bit slow
Am
Im a little bit hurtful
F
And I dont wanna let it go
C (play for next two measures)
Am
No…
F
And I dont wanna let it go
C
Im a little bit angry

When every ones around

But I get a little lonely

When no ones out
Am G
I feel my demons
F F
Misleadin me
[Chorus] (x2)
C
Im just a believer
C
That things will get better

C
Maybe when I get older
C
And Im in the ground
Am
The weights off my shoulders
F
It was bringin me down
C
Ive never been that lucky

Ive never tasted fame
Am
Im always lookin for something
F
But I hate changin
Am
Time fades

Theres no space

As life breaks new ground
[Chorus] (x2)
C
Im just a believer
C
That things will get better
Am
Some can take it or leave it
F
But I dont wanna let it go
[Bridge]
C Am
It doesnt matter what is out there
C
My head is spinning and it wont bail out
Am
It doesnt matter what is out there
[Outro]
Am
Cause time fades
G
Theres no space
