It seems like every time I try to make it right it all comes down on me
Please say honestly you won't give up on me
And I shall believe, I shall believe
And I shall believe
(Same chords as chorus)
That not everything is gonna be the way you think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right it all comes down on me
Please say honestly you won't give up on me
And I shall believe, I shall believe
I shall believe, I shall believe
I shall believe, and I shall believe
C#m B A (hold)
Please say honestly you won't give up on me...
And I shall believe. (x15)

Another song that demonstrates the power of underplaying.
One acoustic guitar does this -
+ + + + + +
|-------------|-------------|
|-------------|-------------|
|-------------|-------------| (repeat ad infinitum)
|-4---4-2-----|-4---4-2-----|
|-------------|-------------|
|-------------|-------------|
throughout. One electric with its tone control turned down does this -
(-------------Intro-------------)
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|
|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|
|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|
|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-2-----|
|-2-----|-2-----|-2-----|-------|-2-----|-2-----|-2-----|-2-----|-0-----|
|-0-----|-0-----|-0-----|-------|-0-----|-0-----|-0-----|-0-----|-------|
(etc) throughout with plam muting - follow the chords, obviously. The only
variation in this is on the F# chord in the chorus -
+ + + + + + + + + + + +
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
|-------|-------|-2-----|-------|
|-4-4-4-|-4-4-4-|-0-----|-------|
|-2-2-2-|-2-2-2-|-------|-------|
There is also another part which I think is a guitar, but a pretty strange
sounding one. I suspect that it must be using a volume pedal or else some
kind of sustaining device like an E-bow, a Fernandes sustainer pickup or
good old fashioned compression. Once again, it's wonderfully underplayed,
so tabbing it out completely would be pointless.
However, it comes in on the second half of the first verse and goes
something like this -
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
