SHE BELIEVES

(C) 4/22/2007 M. Bracy. ASCAP

VI:  THERE’S A CUT/ ON HER RIGHT HAND/  FROM THE NIGHT WHEN/ HE GOT A LITTLE TOO MAD. BEER AND BOTTLES, THEY REALLY DON’T MIX.  THERE’S A BIG BRUISE/ ON HER LEFT HIP FROM THE TIME WHEN/ SHE TELLS ME SHE SLIPPED/ DOWN THE STAIRS BUT HE WAS THERE/ AND HE WATCHED HER FALL.  PRE:  SHE’S NEVER TRIED TO LEAVE HIM/ SHE’S NEVER CRIED OR HELP.

CHORUS: ‘CAUSE SHE BELIEVES IN FAIRY TALES/ THAT EVERY DAMSEL IN DISTRESS IS RESCUED. SHE BELIEVES IN DREAMS COME TRUE/ AND IF YOU ASK HER SHE WILL TELL YOU/ THAT EVERY NIGHT SHE TURNS DOWN THE LIGHT/ JUST TO HIDE THE FIGHT/ IN HIS EYES. ‘CAUSE SHE BELIEVES HER FROG IS A PRINCE/ AND SHE KEEPS ON KISSING HER GOOD YEARS GOOD-BYE.

V2: THERE’S A NOTE/ TUCKED IN HER DIARY FROM THE DAY WE/ WE TRIED TO STEP IN. BUT TRUTH AND ILLUSION AREN’T FRIENDS.  THERE’S A TEAR/ YOU CAN SEE SOMETIMES/ WHEN SHE CAN’T FIND/ REASON TO JUSTIFY/ SHUTTING US OUT/ JUST TO KEEP IN WITH HIM.  PRE:  SHE ALWAYS GETS UP ON HIS GOOD SIDE SHE ENDS UP ON HIS BAD.

BUT…CHORUS 2X
