[Verse]
  E
I just can't help believin'
         Emaj7
When she smiles up soft and gentle
       F#m
With a trace of misty morning
        B7                         | E | A/E | E | A/E |
And the promise of tomorrow in her eyes
       E
I just can't help believin'
           Emaj7
When she's lying close beside me
       E7                                | A | % | Am | % |
And my heart beats with the rhythm of her sighs


[Chorus]
E              A/E          | E | A/E |
 This time the girl is gonna stay
E             A             | B |
This time the girl is gonna stay
  B                     | E | A/E | E | A/E |
   For more than just a day
(break)


[Verse]
      E
Oh, I just can't help believin'
         Emaj7
When she slips her hand in my hand
       F#m
And it feels so small and helpless
       Bsus4         B               | E | A/E | E | A/E |
And my fingers fold around it like a glove
      E
And I just can't help believin'
           Emaj7
When she's whispering her magic
       E7                                | A | % | Am | % |
And her tears are shining honey sweet with love


[Chorus]
E              A/E          | E | A/E |
 This time the girl is gonna stay
E             A             Bsus4 B
This time the girl is gonna stay- ay
  B                     | E | A/E | E | A/E |
   For more than just a day

[Interlude]
       E                 A/E

And I just can't help believin'
           Emaj7
When she smiles her whispering magic (?)
        E7                                 | A | % | Am | % |
And her tears are shining honey sweet with love


[Chorus]
E              A/E          | E | A/E |
 This time the girl is gonna stay
E             A             Bsus4 B
This time the girl is gonna stay- ay
