       D                                                                G 
You're driving in your car, a little tune you used to know comes on the radio 
D                                                                           G 
Wind your window down the sunlight pouring through the windscreen, a little wind may blow 
D                                                                      G 
Pull up to red light, ease your seat back, take a breath and watch the people pass 
D                                                                G 
When it turns to green again, put your foot down, turn it up and take it in 

 
C          G   D      C          G   D 
That's why I believe, that's why I believe 

BREAK: D G 

verse 2: 
D                                                               G 
When you leave the city all the colours are so pretty that they come alive 
D                                                                        G 
Now you can't help thinking of the time when you were younger but that's quite alright 
D                                                          G 
Memories of circus lights, kisses on midsummer nights that felt so real 
D                                                                      G 
With you're daddy at the fair, running through the tall grass, is that place still there 


C          G   D      C          G   D 
That's why I believe, that's why I believe

Now you're getting close to home, could that be a hint of rain, it's that time of year 
D                                                        G 
Funny how you rush into a store for an umbrella then the clouds all clear 
D                                                                     G 
Drive into the neighbourhood, you never see the neighbours but that's fine with you 
D                                                                  G 
And there she is at the window, smiling, laughing, waving, and you have to tell yourself it's true and 

C          G   D      C          G   D 
That's why I believe, that's why I believe 

C          G   D      C          G   D 
That's why I believe, that's why I believe
