         F#m7               G#m7
When the world received the light,
      G#7sus4 G#7       C#m7
At the beginning of the day
           A                B
You will hear me call your name,
         G#m7               C#m7
'Cause I love you more than light
             Bm7    E7      A
And it will always be this way,
          F#m           Esus4 E Esus4 E
As long as I believe in life

When the morning comes too soon
And I am still without your love
You will let me call your name
Because I love you more than light
And it will always be this way
As long as I believe in life

D#        G#              A#              Cm
Whatever happened to the girls I used to know?
D#        G#              A#            G#maj7
Whatever happened to the places that we'd go?
             B6/G#          A#6/G
When we were running in and out of time
Adim                 A#9sus4/F          Cm
But all the time, we still believed in life
         F             C9sus4  Adim
We were running in and out of time
 A#9sus4/F            B9sus4
But still believed in life

And when the day is almost done
And there is nothing left to say
You will let me call your name
Because I love you more than light
And it will always be this way
As long as I believe in life

Running in and out of time
But still believed in life

And when the day is almost done
And there is nothing left to say
You will let me call your name
Because I love you more than light
And it will always be this way
As long as I believe
As long as you believe
As long as I believe that you believe
That I'll believe, I'll believe in life

As long as I believe that you believe
That I'll believe, I'll believe in life
I believe, I believe in life
I believe in life
