[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.

[Verse 2]
I thought love
was more or l
ess a given th
ing,
Seems the more
I gave, the l
ess I got.
What's the use
in tryin'?
All you get i
s pain.
When I neede
d sunshine I g
ot rain.
[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.
[Solo]
The solo for this song is very simple even for a beginner and sounds great
when played over the song's chords.
