Intro:

C  C7, Fm (x2)

Verse 1:

C          C7      Fm6
 Shattered dreams, worthless years,
        C                         Fm6
Here am I encased inside a hollow shell.

C        C7   Fm6
 Life be-gan, then was done,
      C                           Fm6
Now I stare into a cold and empty well.

Bridge 1:

    C
The many sounds that meet our ears,
    F
The sights our eyes behold.
     C
Will open up our merging hearts,
    F
And feed our empty souls.

Chorus 1:

G                 F
 I believe when I fall in love,
     C                   G
With you; it will be for-ever.
G                 F
 I believe when I fall in love,
     C                   G
With you; it will be for-ever.

Verse 3:

     C       C7   Fm6
With-out des-pair, we will share,
        C                             Fm6
And the joys of caring will not be re-placed.

C         C7         Fm6
 What has been, must never end;
             C                           Fm6
And with the strength we have won't be e-rased.

Bridge 2:

         C
When the truths of love are planted firm,
     F
They won't be hard to find.
        C
And the words of love I speak to you,
     F
Will echo in your mind.

Chorus 2:

G                 F
 I believe when I fall in love,
     C                   G
With you; it will be for-ever.
G                 F
 I believe when I fall in love,
     C                   G
With you; it will be for-ever.

    G
For-ever, ever...ever...ever...

G                 F
 I believe when I fall in love,
     C                   G
With you; it will be for-ever.
G                 F
 I believe when I fall in love,
     C                   G
With you; it will be for-ever.

Chorus 3:

       G                 F
I'm so glad that I found someone,
      C          G
To be-lieve in a-gain.
       G                 F
I'm so glad that I found someone,
      C          G
To be-lieve in a-gain.

G           F           C      G
 God surely answered my prayer.
G           F           C      G
 God surely answered my prayer.

         G                      C      G
You know God surely answered my prayer.

Believe in one who will answer my prayer.

Thank you God...
