Believe Me chords by Ellie Goulding

Chords with lyrics

This is my first "tab". I tried to play it by ear and it may not be up to scratch
but if you have a similar strumming pattern to me then it'll sound all right.
Capo: Not needed. (But you can play it with the capo on 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th)

Intro: G+G D MajorD E minorEm C majorC (x2)

Verse 1:
G+G
Listen,
D MajorD        E minorEm    C majorC
 I can hear a voice,
     G+G
I need a helping hand,
D MajorD         E minorEm   C majorC
 just to beat the void.
     G+G
I need a mission,
          D MajorD
a dream to stop me talking to myself
       E minorEm
and now the silence is broken
    C majorC
and my soul is to sell
      G+G
I need to pick up the pieces,
  D MajorD
to scatter to the wind
     E minorEm
hold the city to your ears
       C majorC
and you can hear the wind come in.

Chorus:
     E minorEm        G+G
But you can’t change the world with a song
     E minorEm      G+G
and you can’t make it right when it’s wrong.
G+G             D MajorD              E minorEm
I cannot stop this music travelling round with me wherever I go,
   C majorC
it’s playing for you.
G+G             D MajorD           E minorEm
I cannot stop the voice unravelling round me whatever I do,
   C majorC
it’s talking to you.
G+G            D MajorD
The world dances to the rhythm of its own
    E minorEm         C majorC
heart beating for you, however you lose.
G+G       D MajorD
So speak to me
 E minorEm         C majorC
believe, believe, believe me.

Verse 2:
    G+G     D MajorD          E minorEm   C majorC
Don’t let it slip, through your fingertips.
   G+G       D MajorD
When there’s a ghost,
          E minorEm     C majorC
don’t try to reason with it.
         G+G
Because now I’m tired, I’m wired,
   D MajorD
so I will not miss a thing.
     E minorEm
I rope my words out to dry
     C majorC
and I’ve forgotten what to sing

Chorus:
     E minorEm        G+G
But you can’t change the world with a song
     E minorEm      G+G
and you can’t make it right when it’s wrong.
G+G             D MajorD              E minorEm
I cannot stop this music travelling round with me wherever I go,
   C majorC
it’s playing for you.
G+G             D MajorD           E minorEm
I cannot stop the voice unravelling round me whatever I do,
   C majorC
it’s talking to you.
G+G            D MajorD
The world dances to the rhythm of its own
    E minorEm         C majorC
heart beating for you, however you lose.
G+G       D MajorD
So speak to me
 E minorEm         C majorC
believe, believe, believe me.

Bridge:
  G+G           D MajorD
If that’s what it was to you,
   E minorEm          C majorC
then that’s what it was to me.
  G+G           D MajorD
If that’s what it was to you,
   E minorEm          C majorC
then that’s what it was to me.

If that’s what it was to you,
   E minorEm          C majorC
then that’s what it was to me.
