"You Still Believe In Me"
(Brian Wilson / Tony Asher)

[Notes from AWR: You're more or less on your own playing this on guitar, at
least if you want to cover the bass part as well. The right-hand keyboard
voicings I use are:

B: D# F# B Bsus4: E F# B F#7: E F# A#

... which on guitar could be played as:

111 111 111
xx312x xx412x xx411x

... assuming some other instrument handled the B-CF# bass part.]

Verse 1:

B Bsus4/C# F#7 B Bsus4/C# F#7 B Bsus4/C# F#7
I know perfectly well i'm not where I should be
B Bsus4/C# F#7 B Bsus4/C# F#7 B Bsus4/C# F#7
I've been very aware you've been patient with me
E B B7/A E B7 B7/A G#
Everytime we break up you bring back your love to me
C#m7
And after all I've done to you how can it be
G#m7/C# C#m7/G# B/F# C#m7-5/G
You still believe in me

Verse 2:

I try hard to be more what you want me to be
But I can't help how I act when you're not here with me
I try hard to be strong but sometimes I fail myself
And after all I've promised you so faithfully
You still believe in me
