[Verse 1]

             
I thought love

             
 was only true

    
 in fairy tale

s.
             
Meant for some

             
one else but n

       
ot for me.
             
Love was out t

  
o get me
             
  That's the w

      
ay it seemed.
             
  Disappointme

             
nt haunted all

           
 my dreams.


[Chorus]

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

              
Then I saw her

      
 face,
            
now I'm a beli

       
ever
           
Not a trace

 
             
of doubt in my

       
 mind.
       ( 
I'm in love,  

  
              

  ( 
    ooh
         (
I'm a believer

      
! I couldn't l

 (  
eave her if I 

 ( 
tried.
