If You Believe
Francis Rossi
One Step at a Time 2010



Some fans thought this song was about Rick Parfitt.

In the 'OSAAT' CD booklet, Rossi mentions 
3/4 or 'waltz time' for this track.
I shall write it out this way.

(E)                D            E
Carry on while he's carrying on
                    D
run along while he's doing you wrong
          E       F#m            C#m
he don't mind if you're back at home
Bm       D        A
keeping his love warm
D       E     F#m           C#m
holding on to all of those dreams
Bm     D           A/E E
he'll say that it's O-K



       A     A/C#      D          G/D D
and if you believe in what he says
   A     A/C#          D           G/D D
if you believe he'll change he says
   A       A/C#      D 
I wish you both so well
         B7            E                      A
for the rest of your lives, the rest of your lives



Late again, is he lying again?
Staying in while he's playing again
games that people play when they can
isn't it a shame?
always leads to feeling the same
he'll say that it's O-K



and if you believe in what he says
if you believe he'll change he says
I wish you both so well
for the rest of your lives, the rest of your lives



C#                         D
There was a time where I thought we had it all
C#                   F#m
so many words I've forgotten
    C#                              D
if you were sitting here I'd write down a thing or two
    B7                              E
and I could sing something thats really good for you

holding on to all of those dreams
he'll say that it's O-K



and if you believe in what he says
if you believe he'll change he says
I wish you both so well
for the rest of your lives, the rest of your lives



and if you believe in what he says
if you believe he'll change he says
I wish you both so well
for the rest of your lives, the rest of your lives
