so , i lived a lie
for just tonight , tonight

( switch to G , Em , D , C sequence )
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers
we are believers

we are , we are

no , i don’t really know where i must go
no , i don’t really know where i must go
so , i lived a lie
for just tonight
