     Gsus4    G         Gsus4    G
This can't continue, It makes no sense

      Fsus4   F             Fsus4       F
We're getting nowhere, I've lost all my confidence

    Gsus4     G              Gsus4 G
The boy wants something, I'm satisfied

   Fsus4   F           Fsus4    F                      G
He needs attention and care our love can't provide

    Gm                          Ebmaj7
And then there's the matter of us...
[Verse]
Gm                       F
I'd like to prove that I don't think that you've

         Ebmaj7       F  Fsus4 F
seen the best of me

           Gm
I've stood up for the boy and

     D                          D G D G
I've clung to the hopes and the lies

  Gm                         F
I wish that the pain in your gaze

                 Ebmaj7      F Fsus4 F
Could again be a test of me

           Gm                 D
But when I look in the mirror

                  G    C  D  G
I believe my own eyes
[Chorus]
    C        D   G      C  D  G
I believe my own eyes

          C           Em
Know I've come to the end

        D           C
All my patience is gone

          C
When I'm doubtful I tend

      G
To believe my own eyes
[Verse]
     Gm                     F
I'd like to declare this devotion and care

       Ebmaj7       F  Fsus4 F
Is the life to live

      Gm
That nothing has changed and that

 D                     D G D G
Time isn't passing us by

       Gm                       F
But I have to say here that for us

                       Ebmaj7     F Fsus4 F
There's a clear-cut alternative

         Gm                 D
When we look at each other

                    G    C  D  G
We believe our own eyes
[Chorus]
    C        D   G      C  D  G
I believe my own eyes

          C           Em
Know I've come to the end

        D           C
All my patience is gone

          C
When I'm doubtful I tend

      G
To believe my own eyes
[Break] Gm Fsus4 F Fsus4 F E Bsus4 B [Bridge]
         E         A     B    E   A B
This has gone far enough

      Cm             B  E     Cm  B E
After all we've been through

            C
We can't be blamed,

                      D        G    C  D   G
We've done all we can humanly do

         E         A     B    E   A B
It's a time to be tough

      Cm             B  E     Cm  B E
A time to be wise

             C
We must stop chasing false dreams

      D         G    C  D   G
and recover our lives
[Chorus]
    C        D   G      C  D  G
I believe my own eyes,

          C           Em
Know I've come to the end

        D           C
All my patience is gone

          C          C
When I'm doubtful I tend

      G
To believe my own eyes
[Verse]
     Gm                     F
I'd like to believe that I don't feel that we've

         Ebmaj7      F  Fsus4 F
Seen the best of us

        Gm
And the way to believe is to

 D                          D G D G
See where the real future lies

   Gm                         F
I hope that the pain in your gaze can again

     Ebmaj7      F  Fsus4 F
Be a test of us

            C
But when I look in the mirror

G                        C  D  G
  I believe my own eyes
[Chorus]
       C        D      G      C  D  G
Let's believe our own eyes,

            C          Em
Know we've come to the end

         D           C
All our patience is gone

         C
Let's admit we intend

      G
To believe our own eyes
