Verse 1:
G                       D       G
I thought love was only true in fairy tales

G                 D                G
Meant for someone else but not for me.

C               G
Love was out to get me

C                G
Thats the way it seemed.

C              G              D     Stop.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.


Chorus:
For the chorus the strumming pattern is simply down, down-up, down (V V^V). so you play
first chord (G) on the first down strum, and hit the C on the final down strum, and

change chords on the upstroke.

During the chorus Guitar two should play the guitar 2 inro riff over each line of the chorus.

               G   C  G
Then I saw her face,

    C       G     C  G
now Im a believer

C     G     C   G
Not a trace

   C           G    C  G
of doubt in my mind.

C     G(one stroke then mute) C(one stroke)
Im in love,                   ooh

       G(one stroke)     F(one stroke) (Riff below)
Im a believer! I couldnt leave her if I tried.

Verse 2:
G                  D              G
I thought love was more or less a given thing,

G                D               G
Seems the more I gave the less I got.

C                G
Whats the use in tryin?

C              G
All you get is pain.

C             G              D    Stop.
When I needed sunshine I got rain.

Solo:
The solo for this song is very simple even for a begginer and sounds great when played
