Lyrics

Is there an y one who ev er re mem bers chang ing their mind from the paint on a sign.

Is there an y one who real ly re calls ev er break ing rank at all for some thing some one yelled real loud one time.

Oh, ev ’ry one be lieves

in how they it ought to be.

Oh, ev ’ry one be lieves,

and (Bbmaj7)they’re not go ing eas (Am)i ly.

Be lief is a ti ful ar mor, but makes for the heav i est sword.

Like punch ing un der wa ter, you (Dm)nev er can hit who you’re try ing (Gm)for.

Some need the ex hi bi tion, some have to know they tried.

It’s the chem i cal weap on for the war that’s rag ing on in side.

Oh, ev ’ry one be lieves,

from (Bbmaj7)emp ti ness to ev ’ry thing.

Oh, ev ’ry one be lieves,

and (Bbmaj7)no one’s go ing qui et ly.

We’re nev er gon na (Gm7)win the world.

We’re nev er gon na (Gm)stop the war.

We’re nev er gon na (Gm7)beat this if be lief is what we’re fight ing for.

We’re nev er gon na (Gm7)win the world.

We’re nev er gon na (Gm)stop the war.

We’re nev er gon na (Gm7)beat this if be lief is what we’re fight ing for.

is what we’re fight ing for.

Is there an y one

who can re mem ber, ev er sur ren der, with their life on the line?

Da (Gm7)da da da da (Gm6)da da (Gm)da da da da (Dm)da da (Gm7)da da da da (Gm6)da da.

What puts a hun dred thou sand chil dren in the sand?

Be lief can,

be lief can.

What puts the fold ed flag in side his moth er’s hand?

Be lief can,

be lief can.

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "Belief" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in D, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "Belief" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
