Misc Musicals – The Last Five Years - If I Didnt Believe In You (Guitar)

          Gm7                 F2/A
There are people and they are publishing my book,

              Gm7                 F2/A
And there's a party that they are throwing.

                 Bbm7                               F2/C
And while you've made it very clear that you're not going,

          Db2               F2
I will be going, and that's done.

              Dm9                 Bbmaj7#11
But what's it really about? Is it really about a party Cathy?

       Dm9                      C/E                     Eb/F    Gm/F 
Can we please for a minute stop blaming and say what you feel?

      Bb/C                  F/C           Gm7/C                 F/C
Is it just that you're disappointed to be touring again for the summer?

        Ab6/9                        Eb2/G            Fm7
Did you think this would all be much easier than it's turned out to be?

          Gm11                       Fsus
Well then talk to me, Cathy, talk to me.

   F            Bb/D             Eb2                    Fsus   F
If I didn't believe in you, we'd never have gotten this far.

   F2/A         F2/B           Bbm(maj7)
If I didn't believe in you and all of the ten thousand women you are,

   F2/C           Dm11         F2/C              Am7
If I didn't think you could do anything you ever wanted to,

   Bb2                   F2/A                 G7sus  G7 
If I wasn't certain that you'd come through somehow,

    Gm7                    F2/A     Bb2         Bb/C
The fact of the matter is, Cathy, I wouldn't be standing here now.

   F            Bb/D           Eb6                     F2
If I didn't believe in you, we wouldn't be having this fight.

   F2/A         F2/B            Bbm(maj7)              
If I didn't believe in you, I'd walk out that door and say, "Cathy, you're right."

    F/A           Dm9         F/C                      Am7
But I never could let that go knowing the things about you I know,

Bb2                         F2/A       G7sus G7
Things, when I met you four years ago, I     knew

   Gm7                F2/A                    Eb/Bb  Bb/C        F   Bb2/D   Eb2
It never took much convincing to make me believe          in you.

Cm7                 Bb2/D
Don't we get to be happy, Cathy? 

Cm7                     Bb2/D                      Eb
At some point down the line don't we get to relax, 

                 Bb2                   F            Bb/F   F
without some new tsuris to push me yet further from you.

Am7b5            Ab6/9
If I'm cheering on your side, Cathy,

Am7b5               Ab6/9
Why can't you support mine? Why do I have to 

Eb2                      Bb2               C
feel I've committed some felony doing what I always swore I would do?

Am11                 D/A
I don't want you to hurt,

Am11/F               D/F
I don't want you to sink,

D7sus                D7(b5)   Ab7(b5)         C/G
But you know what I think? I think you'll be fine!

                        C/Bb
Just hang on and you'll see!

                  F2/A                   Fm9/Ab
But don't make me wait 'til you do to be happy with you.

         C2/G           Gsus
Will you listen to me?

Dbmaj7              Dm7
No one can give you courage.

Eb6/9                   Csus
No one can thicken your skin.

           Fm7     Bb6/9      F7/A        G7/B
I will not fail so you can be comfortable Cathy.

           Ab/C    Db     Bb/D      Eb      Ab/C   Db2   Eb
I will not lose because you   can't win.

   Eb           Ab/C             Db2                         Ebsus  Eb
If I didn't believe in you, then here's where the travelogue ends.

   Eb2/G        Eb2/A         Abm(maj7)         
If I didn't believe in you, I couldn't have stood before all of our friends

    Eb2/G              Cm7            Eb/Bb                     Gm7
And said, "This is the life I choose. This is the thing I can't bear to lose.

Abmaj7                 Eb/G                F7sus  F7
Trip us or trap us but we refuse to fall."

Fm7                        Eb2/G    Fm7  Eb2/G
That's what I thought we agreed on, Ca - thy.

   Ab Fm7       Eb/Bb    Cm11
If I  hadn't believed in you,

  Fm            Ab/Bb        Eb   Ab/C   Db2   Eb
I wouldn't have love you at all.
