I (C)used to think that I could not go (D)on,

If I can (Am7)see it,

then I can (D)do it; if I just be (C)lieve it,

there’s noth ing (Dm7)to it.

I be lieve I can (C)fly,

I be lieve I can (Am7)touch the sky.

I think a bout it ev ’ry (Dm7)night and day, spread my wings and (Dm7)fly a way.

I be (G#dim7)lieve I can (Am7)soar, I see me run ning through that (D)o pen door.

I be lieve I can (C)fly,

I be lieve I can (D)fly,

I be lieve I can (Am7)fly.

See, (C)I was on the verge of break ing (D)down.

Some (C)times was si ing lence can seem so (D)loud.

There But (C)mir a cles in life I must a (D)chieve,

If I can (Am7)see it,

then I can (D)do it; if I just be (C)lieve it,

there’s noth ing (Dm7)to it.

I be lieve I can (C)fly,

I be lieve I can (Am7)touch the sky.

I think a bout it ev ’ry (Dm7)night and day, spread my wings and (Dm7)fly a way.

I be (G#dim7)lieve I can (Am7)soar, I see me run ning through that (D)o pen door.
