Intro: B5 A5 G5 B5

[Whitney]
Bm                A            F#m7        Bm
Many nights we've prayed  with no proof anyone could hear
Bm              Gmaj9           Em11        F#m7
In our hearts a hopeful song we barely understood
    B           A/C#    F#m7                   E
Now we are not afraid although we know there's much to fear
G              D/F#              Em11           A/C#            D
We were moving mountains long before we knew we could   ohhhhh, yes


Chorus ? [Whitney Houston]:
D                      A/C#
There can be miracles, when you believe 
Bm7            A           G            A  A7-5  D
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
D                       A/C#
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
Bm7        A          G             
When you believe, somehow you will
Em7           A/C#  B5
You will when you believe  oeoeoe yeah

[Mariah Carey]
Bm              A         F#m7             Bm
In this time of fear when prayers so often prove in vain
Bm                  Gmaj9           Em11           F#m7
Hope seems like the summer birds so swiftly flown away
    B                A/C#    F#m7              E
Yet now I'm standing here my heart's so full I can't explain
G                 D/F#             Em11              A/C#                 
Seeking faith and speaking words I never thought I'd say

Chorus ? [Mariah Carey]:
E                      B/D#                       C#m7
There can be miracles, when you believe (when you believe)
               B           A            B B7-1 E
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
E                       B/D#                       C#m7
Who knows what miracles you can achieve  (you can achieve)
           Abm        A
When you believe, somehow you will 
F#m7          B     E      B/D#  C#m7  B  B7-1
You will when you believe

[Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston]
           A/C#          B7/Eb    Esus4  E  B/D#  C#m7
They don't always happen when you ask  
         A/C#         B7/Eb      Esus4  E F#m7 E/G#          
And it's easy to give in to your fears ooohhhhhh __
      A                                    B7
But when you?re blinded by your pain can't see your way straight through the rain 
  C#m7            A               B7                     F#
A small but still resilient voice says love is very near oohhh

There can be miracles (miracles)when you believe (oh when you believe oh ho)
               C#         B         C#          C#sus2  F#
Though hope is frail it's hard? it?s hard to kill 
F#                      C#/F     Bbm7             Ebm7         
Who knows what miracles you can achieve (you can achieve ooohh)
           F#        B
When you believe somehow you will (somehow, somehow, somehow)
    Ebm7          F#/Bb  Abm7 C#/F  Ebm7sus
Somehow you will   
              C#    F#    C#/F  Ebm7  C#  Ebm7sus
You will when you believe
              C#                 Bbm7   F#    C#/F  
You will when you (you will when you) believe
       Ebm7  C#   Ebm7sus       F#    C#/F Ebm7 C# Ebm7sus

You will when you believe
