         Cm          Fm           Bbm        EbWhile I still believe the meaning of the word.
Ab               Ab/C              Db   Eb/Db   I'll keep my dreams and just pretend,
     Cm       Fm      Bbm          Csus CThat you and I   are never gonna end.

[Chorus]
F           F/A  Too many times I've seen,
     Gm              CThe rose die on the vine.
F             F/A  Somebody's heart gets broken,
Gm               C   Usually it's mine.
Gb                 Bbm   I don't want to take the chance,
    Abm         BbOf being hurt again.
    Ebsus   Eb      Bbm     EbAnd you and I can't say goodbye.

[Verse 2]
Ab          Ab/C              Db   Eb/Db  So if you wake and find me gone,
      Cm        Fm            Bbm         EbOh baby carry on   you see I need my fantasy.
Ab            Ab/C   I still believe,
