Lyrics

You may call it in this eve ning, but you’ve on ly lost the night.

Pre sent all your pret ty feel ings; may they com fort you to night.

And I’m climb ing o ver some thing, and I’m run ning through these walls.

I don’t e ven (G)know if I be lieve,

I don’t e ven (Bm7)know if I be lieve,

I don’t e ven (D)know if I be lieve

ev ’ry thing you’re (A)try’n’ to say to me.

I had the strang est feel ing

your world’s not what it seems.

So tired of mis con ceiv ing

what else this could ’ve been.

I don’t e ven (G)know if I be lieve,

I don’t e ven (D)know if I be lieve,

I don’t e ven (Bm7)know if I be lieve

ev ’ry thing you’re (A)try’n’ to say to me.

So o pen up my (G)eyes,

tell me I’m a (D)live.

This is nev er (Bm7)gon na go our way if I’m gon na have to (A)guess what’s on your mind.

Say some thing, say some thing, some thing like you love me,

that you wan na move (D)a way

from the noise of this place.

(Em)I don’t e ven (G)know if I be lieve,

I don’t e ven (D)know if I be lieve,

I don’t e ven (Bm7)know if I wan na be lieve

an y thing you’re (A)try’n’ to say to me.

So o pen up my (G)eyes,

tell me I’m a (D)live.

This is nev er (Bm7)gon na go our way if I’m gon na have to (A)guess what’s on your mind.

So o pen up my (G)eyes,

tell me I’m a (D)live.

This is nev er (Bm7)gon na go our way if I’m gon na have to (A)guess what’s on your mind.

This page shows “Believe” by Mumford & Sons in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of B at 115 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.
