D                  A            D              G  
I thought love was only true in fairy tales,  
D                 A                 D  
Meant for someone else but not for me.  
G               A  
Love was out to get me—  
D                 G  
That's the way it seemed.  
G              A                 D             
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.  

 
               D   G              D   
Then I saw her face; now I'm a believer.

Not a trace of doubt in my mind.

I'm in love       and I'm a believer,

I thought love was more or less a giving thing  
D                A                D  
Seems the more I gave, the less I got.  
G                 A       D              G  
What's the use in trying? All you get is pain.  
G             A               D  
When I needed sunshine, I got rain.  

               D   G              D   
Then I saw her face; now I'm a believer.

Not a trace of doubt in my mind.

I'm in love       and I'm a believer,  
           G              A  
I couldn't leave her if I tried,  
         D  
Not if I tried
