Lyrics

When you (C)rush a round

in hope less (Em7)cir cles

search ing (C)ev ’ry where

for some thing (Em7)true.

You’re at the (F)age

of (F#dim)not

be (C)liev (Gm)ing

when all the (Dm7)“make be lieve”

is (G7)through.

When you (C)set a side

your child hood (Em7)he roes

and your (C)dreams are lost

up on a (Em7)shelf.

You’re at the (F)age

of (F#dim)not

be (C)liev (Gm)ing

and worst of (Dm7)“make be lieve”

is (G7)through.

When you (Dm7)all, you doubt

your (C)self.

You’re a (F)cast a way

where no one (C)hears you

on a (Dm7)bar ren isle

in a lone ly (C)sea.

(E7)Where did all the (E7)hap py end ings (Am)go?

(D7)Where can all the (D7)good times (G7sus)be?

You must (F#dim)start

be (C)liev (Gm)ing

there’s some thing (Dm7)won der ful,

tru ly (F)won der ful

(G7)in you.
