[Intro 1]
[G][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Old man Wrigley lived in that white house
[D]Down the street where I grew up
[Em]Mama used to send me over
with things
[G]We struck a friendship up
[C]I spent a few long summers
[D]Out on his old porch swi[G]ng

[Verse 2]
[G]Said he was in the war
when in the navy
[D]Lost his wife, lost his baby
[Em]Broke down and asked him one time
[G]How you keep from going crazy[C]
He said I'll see my wife and son
in just a little while
[D]I asked him what he meant
He looked at me and smiled, said

[Chorus 1]
I raise my [G]hands, bow my [D]head
I'm [C]finding more and more truth
in the words written in red
They [Am]tell me that there's [G]more to life
Than [C]just what I can see
[D]Oh, I belie[G]ve[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]Few years later I was off at college
[D]Talkin' to mom on the phone one night
[Em]Getting all caught up on the gossip
[G]The ins and outs of the small town life
[C]She said oh by the way son[D], hmm,
old man Wrigley has [G]died

[Verse 4]
[G]Later on that night,
[D]I laid there thinkin' back
[Em]Thought 'bout a couple long lost summers
[G]I didn't know whether to cry or laugh
[C]If there was ever anybody
deserved a ticket to the other side
[D]It'd be that sweet old man
who looked me in the eye, said

[Chorus 2]
I raise my [G]hands, bow my [D]head
I'm [C]finding more and more truth
in the words written in red
They [Am]tell me that there's [G]more to life
Than [C]just what I can see [D](see)

[Bridge 1]
[Em]I can't quote quote the book
The [Ebaug]chapter or the verse
You [G]can't tell me it all ends
In a [A]slow ride in a hearse
You [C]know I'm more and more convinced
The [G]longer that I live
Yeah, this [Am]can't be
No, this [G]can't be
No, this [C]can't be all there [D]is

[Chorus 3]
Lord, I raise my [G]hands, bow my [D]head
Oh, I'm [C]finding more and more truth
in the words written in red
They [Am]tell me that there's [G]more to this
Than [C]just what I can see
[D](just what I can see)
I be[Em]lieve
Oh, [A]I
I be[C]lieve[D]

[Outro 1]
I be[G]lieve
(I be[F]lieve)
[G]Hmm (I be[F]lieve)
I be[G]lieve (I be[F]lieve)
I be[G]lieve (I be[F]lieve)
[G](I belie[F]ve)
I be[G]lieve (I be[F]lieve)
[G]Hmm (I be[F]lieve)
[G](I belie[F]ve)[G]
