INTRO:	D   G   D   G
 

VERSE:
D       G                 A            D         G
You and I, tempted by the promise of a different life.
D        G                        A              D          G
Time has fled, there’s a constant battle running through my head.
  Em                 A          D       G
I don’t know what to do, ‘cos I still believe
      Em              A                      Bm
After all the foolish things that we’ve been through
       Em          A              G           A
I will always be a man who’s open to... ...persuasion


D   G   D   G


VERSE:
Blind romance, there’ll be no half measures given half a chance
But we never learn, trusting in the fire while the cruel flame burns,
    Em           A              D     G
And we need to rebuild what was never there, 
         Em     A
What got left behind.
After all the foolish things that we’ve been through,
I could always make a start on something new.
I will always be a man who’s open to... ...persuasion.

BRIDGE:
         D             A                          G   D
And it’s written in my heart so that everyone can see it
         D             A                         Em    A    Bm
And it’s written in my soul, after all I still believe it.
          Em    A   Bm
I still believe it (c’mon c’mon)
          Em    A   Bm
I still believe it (yeah)
          Em	A
I still believe.

REFRAIN:
  Em                 A          D       G
I don’t know what to do, ‘cos I still believe
      Em              A                    Bm
After all the foolish things you’ve put me through
        Em            A                  Bm
I could always make a start on something new
           Em          A              G     A
And I will always be a man who’s open to...
