Joe Nichols- If Nobody Believed In You



Intro: G  C  D/F#  C

G                      C
I watched him take the two strike call
D/F#                 G
He hadn't tried to swing at all
C                 D/F#
I guess he had all he could take
C
He walked away for goodness sake
Am7                              D
His father's voice was loud and mean
Am7                      D
You won't amount to anything


Chorus 1:
C                     G
That little boy quit trying
C                G
He just walked away
C                            D
There were teardrops on his face
C                  G           
Tell me how would you feel
       C                Em
You'd probably give up too
   Am7 G/B  C    D    G    C  D/F#  C
If nobody believed  in you


G                  C
That old man said one more try
D/F#                G
I know I'm not too old to drive
C                  D/F#
I promise son I'll do my best
C
This time I'm gonna pass the test
Am7                           D
Give me the keys dad and get in
Am7                      D
His father never drove again


Chorus 2:
C                   G
That old man quit trying
C                G
He just turned away
C                          D
There were teardrops on his face
C                       G
Tell me how would you feel
C                       Em
You'd probably give up too
  Am7 G/B  C     D    G   C  D/F#  C
If nobody believed in you

A                    D
We take His name out of the schools
E/G#                 A
And lawyers say it breaks the rules
D                       E/G#
The pledge of allegiance can't be read
D
And "under God" should not be said
Bm7                       E
I wonder how much He will take
Bm7                       E
I just pray it's not too late


Chorus 3:
D                 A
What if God quit trying
D                A
He just turned away
D                            E
There were teardrops on His face
D                  A           
Tell me how would you feel
       D                F#m
You'd probably give up too
   Bm7 A/C#  D    E    A    D  E/G#  D
If nobody believed  in you


D                  A           
Tell me how would you feel
       D                F#m
You'd probably give up too
   Bm7 A/C#  D    E    A    D  E/G#  D  A
If nobody believed  in you
