     A
I've tried so many times to tell you how I feel
           Bm
But you're far too disbelieving,
are you trying to get even with me
A
Maybe once or twice I wasn't fair I wasn't nice
             Bm
But now I've got myself together,
when I promise to be better
You say

Chorus:
A
Whoa, I'll believe you when
Whoa, I'll believe you when
Bm                                             A  Bm
Whoa, When everything you say don't turn out wrong
A
Whoa, I'll believe you when
Whoa, I'll believe you when
Bm                                             A  Bm
Whoa, When everything you say don't turn out wrong

I could call you everyday
Give presents by the score
And I could send you pretty flowers
Have them waiting at your door

I could write up in the sky
Forgive me I apologize
Still if I went through every measure
With my promise to be better
You'd say

Chorus

G                                           Bm
There's nothing you can say that I haven't tried
                                        G
Nothing I can do will ever change your mind
                                    A       Bm A Bm
Maybe I'd do better, if I told somebody else

Chorus

(Whoa) I'll believe you when
(Whoa) I'll believe you when
(Whoa) I'll believe you when
everything you tell isn't wrong
(Whoa) I'll believe you when
(Whoa) I'll believe you when
(Whoa) I'll believe you when
everything you say don't turn out wrong
