Intro:

Am E Am

Am E Am

Am E Am

Am E Am

First verse:

Am E Am

A king is crying from his throne

Am E Am

He had a queen but now she's gone

Am E Am

What is this magic that we seek

Am E C

The mighty strong turn mighty weak

G Am

Every good girl hears it

C F

Every bad boy fears it

F

No matter what I see

F Fmaj7

I believe, I believe

Chorus:

Am E

The power touches me

Am E

The power helps us see

Am E

The power holds my hand

Am E

The power drives my crazy

Second verse:

A flower grows, an old man dies

And through it all we still survive

A poor man screams but no one hears

Ain't nothing changed much through the years

Every bad day needs it

Every good day breeds it

No matter how it feels

When it's real you know it's real

Stronger than any bomb any man has ever made

Repeat Chorus:

Bridge:

C A

And it won't take long to understand

F E

Just how amazed I am

F F#maj G

Open up your eyes and see

C A

It won't take long to understand

F E

Just how amazed I am

Every good day needs it

Every bad day needs it

No matter what I see

I believe, I believe

Stronger than any bomb any man has ever made

Repeat Chorus:

If I believe and you believe

And we believe everything is gonna be all right

It just might
