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
