Verse 1:

    C majorC    G/BG/B      A minorAm   C majorC   C7C7
If you call out loud, will it get in-side?
      FF         C majorC        DmDm   F/GF/G
Through the heart of your sur-render; to your alibis?
      C majorC    G/BG/B       A minorAm  C majorC   C7C7
And you can say the words, like you under-stand,

But, the power's in be-lieving; so give your-self a chance.

 Swim the deepest sea, hee.

And you can go by feel, 'stead of circum-stance,
    FF       C majorC           Eb MajorEb      DmDm
But the power's in be-lieving, so give your-self a chance.

 Float across the sky, high.

 I know that keepin' the faith, means never giving up on love,
    AbAb               F/GF/G      G/AG/A
But the power that love has to make it right; makes it, makes it right.
