Bm                A            F#m         Bm
Many nights we've prayed, with no proof anyone could hear
Bm              D               Em          F#m
In our hearts a hopeful song we barely understood
    B           A                               Bm
Now we are not afraid, although we know there's much to fear
G              D                Em              A
We were moving mountains long before we knew we could
 
 
Chorus:
D                    A/C#
There can be miracles, when you believe
Bm             A           G
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
D                     A/C#
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
Bm          A
When you believe
    G            Em              A       Bm
Somehow you will,  you will when you believe
 
 
Verse 2: (same chords as verse 1)
In this time of fear, when prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here, my heart's so full, I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words I never thought I'd say
 
 
Chorus: 
E                   B/D#
There can be miracles, when you believe
C#m            B           A
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
E                     B/D#
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
C#m         B
When you believe
    A            F#m             B      E
Somehow you will,  you will when you believe
 
 
 
Bridge: E  C#m  A  B
 
           C#m           B/D#     E     B  E/G#
They don’t always happen when you ask
         C#m          B/D#       E     B/F#  E/G#
And it’s easy to give in to your fear
    A                   E/G#    B/F#
But when you’re blinded by your pain
      E        B/D#     C#m         B
Can’t see your way safe through the rain
C#m
Thought of a still resilient voice
     B
Says love is very near
 
 
Chorus: 
F#                  C#/F
There can be miracles, when you believe
Ebm            C#          B
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
F#                    C#/F
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
Ebm         C#
When you believe
    B             Ebm
Somehow you will, now you will
B             C#     Ebm  C#
You will when you believe
B             C#     F#
You will when you believe
