F                  C              F               Bb
Who can tell just how it starts Angry words and broken hearts
F               Bb        C         F
Til silently we sit apart   You and I
F                    C           F                   Bb 
But in a while the anger's gone And we forget who's right or wrong
F                    Bb         C               F   C Bb C F
Then one of us will end it all    With just a smile


F              C              F             Bb     
We believe in happy endings Never breaking only bending
 F            Bb               C             F
Taking time enough for mending   The hurt inside
F              C              F         Bb   
We believe in new beginnings Giving in and forgiving
F               Bb          C         F  
We believe in happy endings   You and I    

F OPEN F Gm C F OPEN F - KEY CHANGE G#m D#m Fm C#

        C#      G#              C#                 F#          
Just a word is all it takes And so it passes the silence breaks
      C#              F#         G#                  C#      
And looking back it makes us ache    For what we've done
           C#        G#             C#             F#   
And so we cling to-gether now And wonder why we're oh so proud
C#                      F#    G#         C#   KEY CHANGE: Cm Bbm F 
When all that matters anyhow    Is our love

F              C              F             Bb     
We believe in happy endings Never breaking only bending
 F            Bb               C             F
Taking time enough for mending   The hurt inside
F              C              F         Bb   
We believe in new beginnings Giving in and forgiving
F               Bb          C         F  
We believe in happy endings   You and I
