[Intro]

Dm7 Gm7 C Dm7



[Verse 1]

Dm7

Is there anyone who

Gm7           C

Ever remembers changing there mind from

Dm7

The paint on a sign?

Dm7

Is there anyone who

Gm7

really recalls

     C

Ever breaking rank at all

              Dm7

For something someone yelled real loud one time



[Pre-Chorus]

Gm7 C                 F

     Everyone believes

Bb                            Gm7

In how they think it ought to be

C                 F

   Everyone believes

    Bb

And they're not going easily



[Verse]

Dm7 Gm7 C Dm7



Dm7

Belief is a beautiful armor

Gm7

But makes for the heaviest sword

C

Like punching under water

Dm7

You never can hit who you're trying for

Dm7

Some need the exhibition

Gm7

And some have to know they tried

C

It's the chemical weapon

        Dm7                     Gm7

For the war that's raging on inside



[Pre-Chorus]

Gm7 C                 F

     Everyone believes

     Bb

From emptiness to everything

Gm7 C                 F

     Everyone believes

    Bb

And no ones going quietly



[Chorus] x2

Dm7                         Gm7

We're never gonna win the world

                  C

We're never gonna stop the war

Dm7               

We're never gonna beat this

     Gm7                C

If belief is what we're fighting for



[Bridge]

Dm7 Gm7 C Dm7



Dm7                Gm7

Is there anyone who can remember

C              Dm7

Ever surrender, with their life forline



[Solo]

Gm7 C F Bb

Gm7 C F Bb



[Chorus]

Dm7             

We're never gonna win the world

Gm7               C

We're never gonna stop the war

Dm7              

We're never gonna beat this

     Gm7                C

If belief is what we're fighting for X2



[Outro]

Dm7 Gm7 Gm7 C



Dm7          Gm7              Gm7                C

What puts a hundred thousand children in the sand

          Dm7 Gm7

Belief can

          Gm7 C

Belief can

Dm7           Gm7              Gm7                C

What puts the folded flag inside his mother's hand

         Dm7 Gm7

Belief can

         Gm7 C

Belief can



Dm7 Gm7 Gm7 C
