I'm sorry

You play it over in your head

Well, that makes two of us

I can only say it ‘cause I’ve seen it (seen it)

Would you believe it?

N.C.
Don't worry
Em              D                     A
When what seems right still turns out wrong

A better story's just begun

So keep on holding on and on and on

On the days you're struggling to believe it
A                                   G
On the nights you're falling all to pieces
                          D
You can bring your lonely heart to Jesus
A               G
What if I told you that I believe it?
