(Intro.)
|(G) / (Bm) / |(C) / (G) / | x 2
 
(Chorus)
(G)Could I be-(Bm)lieve in a (C)man I don’t (G)see?
(G)Wish I could (Bm)hear if he´s (C)talkin’ to (G)me
(G)If I could (Bm)meet him, the (C)big man up-(G)stairs
I´d (G)ask him if (Bm)grandpa still (C)rocks in his (G)chair

(Verse 1)
I´ve met (G) hell raisin’ (Bm)angels, (C)devils and (G)saints
(G)Addicts on (Bm)sidewalks, who (C)give more than (G)take
(G)Poison filled (Bm)pastors, who (C)lie through their (G)teeth
But (G)scold me for (Bm)askin’ why (C) I should be-(G)lieve

(Verse 2)
They (G)say in the (Bm)good book he (C)looks just like (G)me
Is he (G)tattooed and (Bm)tired and (C)can´t find his (G)peace?
Does he (G) drown out his (Bm)sorrows with (C)whyskey, co-(G)caine?
(G)4am (Bm)panic and (C)praying for (G)change

(Chorus)
(G)Could I be-(Bm)lieve in a (C)man I don’t (G)see?
(G)Wish I could (Bm)hear if he’s (C)talkin’ to (G)me

(Verse 3)
I was (G)young and out-(Bm)rageous, (C)rage filled and (G)desperate
For (G)someone to (Bm)show me that (C)I ain´t a-(G)lone
"The (G)more that you (Bm)give him, the (C)better it (G)gets"
(G)Grandpa would (Bm)say as he (C)walked me back (G)home
 
 
(Verse 4)
Now (G)grandpa ain't (Bm)here, and the (C)world’s feelin´(G)dark
(G)Looking for (Bm)sunlight to (C)patch up my (G)heart
I (G)sat myself (Bm)down, on an (C)old wooden (G)pew
I (G)cried out in (Bm)silence and (C)hoped to hear (G)you

(Chorus)
(G)Could I be-(Bm)lieve in a (C)man I don’t (G)see?
(G)Wish I could (Bm)hear if he’s (C)talkin’ to (G)me
