I Believed

INTRO: G  C  G  C  G


In a tiny town where the biggest things
                                               F
Were the water tower and a young boy's dreams, I believed
     G
In a little house of simple means
                                        F
Where doing without was a common scene, I believed


     D
On a dried up square of worthless earth
                                               G
Where we scratched our living out of the dirt, I believed
     D
In a little brown church where I first heard
                                        G           G/F# Em
The choir sing and the preacher's word, I believed, oh    I believed

        C                              D
And the closer that I look within, the further I could see
      C                                     D       G
And I really didn't have much other choice, so I believed



In a high-rise world of steel and glass
Where a man dies young if he don't think fast, I believed
On the streets where the truth is hard to find
And what's in it for me is the bottom line, I believed



In a place where people don't care
They turn their backs like you're not there, I believed
Yeah, where anything goes and usually does
I held my breath and bit my tongue, I believed, oh, I believed
The closer that I looked within, the further I could see
And I really didn't have much other choice, so I believed


BRIDGE:
     D                   G
In a higher place, in a deeper faith
     D                                  G
In a power stronger than you or me I believed

Now when they put that granite on my grave
                                F
All I want that stone to say is I believed
   G
In where I'm from and the woman I loved
                             F           G
The job I did and god above, I believed, I believed, I believed
