Artist: I Just Can't Help Believing
Song:   Elvis Presley

[intro:]     2 X [ F  Bb  F  Bb ]
[verse:1]
  F                                  Fmaj7 
I just can't help believing when she smiles up soft and gentle
       Gm                           C                           F     F
With a trace of misty morning and a promise of tomorrow in her eyes
      F                                    Fmaj7
And I just can't help believing when she's lying close beside me
       F7                                   Bb       Bbm  
And my heart beats with the rhythm of her sighs.
F                Bb            F    Bb        
  This time the girl is gonna stay
F               Bb            C         {let ring}
 This time the girl is gonna stay
                     F   Bb    F   Bb
For more than just a day.

[verse:2]
  F                                  Fmaj7                    
I just can't help believing when she slips her hand in my hand
       Gm7                                 C                               F      F
And it feels so small and helpless that my fingers fold around it like a glove
      F                                    Fmaj7
And I just can't help believing when she's whispering her magic
        F7                                  Bb     Bbm
And her tears are shining honey sweet with love.
F               Bb             F       Bb            
  This time the girl is gonna stay
F               Bb            C         {let ring}
  This time the girl is gonna stay
                      F    Bb    F   Bb  
For more than just a day.
