[Intro] F C G [Verse 1]
F
Take your hand off my knee

C                      G
Take your foot off my neck

F              C                                G
Why are y’all examining me like I’m a murder suspect

F                 C
If I got a little loose

                       G
I just forgot to be afraid

                         F             C  G
But I started out a true believer babe

F               C
Lotta dangerous memories

                      G
A lot of bars in this town

F                     C                         G
Those who I loved and lost and then still stuck around

F                      C
But I heard God in the Ryman

                         G
And I crawled out of the grave

                         F             C  G
I guess I’m still a true believer babe
[Chorus]
         Am                F                  C
All your girlfriends say I broke your fucking heart

            G
And I don’t like it

              Am                F
And there’s a letter on the nightstand

        C               G
I don’t think I’ll ever read

       Am              F
Well I finally found a match

             C                   G
But you kept daring me to strike it

     Am               F
So I have to let it burn

          C        G
To let it be
[Verse 2]
F                   C
I can’t remember my dreams

                        G
I guess it could be the meds

F                    C                             G
But the sound of you screaming won’t get out of my head

F                        C                          G
And I still remember the fever before it started to fade

                    F              C  G
I really was a true believer babe
[Chorus]
         Am                F                  C
All your girlfriends say I broke your fucking heart

            G
And I don’t like it

              Am                F
And there’s a letter on the nightstand

        C               G
I don’t think I’ll ever read

       Am              F
Well I finally found a match

             C                   G
But you kept daring me to strike it

     Am               F
So I have to let it burn

          C        G
To let it be
[Verse 3]
F                      C
Like the stain on your teeth

                   G
I’m as stubborn as wine

F                           C
Just when you get think I’m beaten

               G
I get up every time

F                      C                                 G
So when we pass on the highway I’ll smile and I’ll wave

F                         C               G
But I’ll always be a true believer babe

F                         C               G
But I’ll always be a true believer babe
