I been drivin sixteen hours, this rain is like a metronome

C m

and on my radio they're talking bout Jesus. Talkin all about coming home.

Well I don't know a thing about it. I close my ears and live without it

you can hear too much when you're alone.

Like children's voices and lovers moaning or a dry wind blowing through a

river bed

All these memories, well they're all wrapped up Like a ball of yarn inside

my head

Now a semi's moving up behind me. Its headlights they all but blind me.

But it's funny, for the first time I can see.

I have believed in money, but all I got was greed

I have believed in vengeance, but all I did was bleed

I have believed in fame, but fame turned its back on me

If I had only believed in love I could have been set free.

I often wonder does it matter or is this all a worthless joke

are we just atoms conceived in silence awaiting our turn to fly like smoke

I'd do anything to lay beside you, I'd bring you all the things that I

denied you

Em (

D)

I'd say the words I seldom spoke

I have believed in money, but all I got was greed

I have believed in vengeance, but all I did was bleed

I have believed in fame, but fame turned its back on me

If I had only believed in love I could have been set free.

(break - chorus)

I have believed in money, but all I got was greed

I have believed in vengeance, but all I did was bleed

I have believed in fame, but fame turned its back on me

If I had only believed in love.

If I had only believed in love.

If I had only believed in love.

I could have been set free
