I'm trying to believe in forever

        G             C              G                    D

I'm trying to believe in the little jewel box life we lead

G                       C

Babe, I get so close sometimes,

G                      C              G

But all I really know is I believe that we've been making

            D              G

hard promises to keep.

           G                 C           G

You want me to believe in forever.

                G                          C                    G                      D 

Do you know how tight I'm holding just to keep my grip on yesterday?

         G                C                   G                       C

I'm trying hard to see the pretty picture that you paint for me.

                G          

Do you know how tight I'm holding to

           D               G

hard promises to keep?

C                                G

you meant to give away.

       G                                C

G                                 C

I've kept them for you anyway,

            G

but I know when I've been given

            D                G

hard promises to keep.
