Smiling in the bright lights

Coming through in stereo

When everybody loves you

You can never be lonely

I don't think so. She's looking at me"
                  F
Standing in the spotlight

  I bought myself a gray guitar

But   we've got different reasons for that

Am               Riff 3
   Believe in me
          F7M
'Cause I don't believe in anything
      Am                               G
And I,   I wanna be someone to believe

To believe, to believe
