Chords for Ron Sexsmith - Believe it when I see it

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ This one is a bit, you know, when I wrote it,
I imagined it being a big sounding record,
so I'm not sure how it'll sound as I play it by myself now.
But I was trying to, _ lyrically, I was trying to get at that,
you know, somehow, sometimes you think that everything
in life seems very random, and then other times,
there's this feeling that there's some fate involved,
and I don't really know which is right or wrong.
But [A] it's kind of a song about trying to sort [C#] all
that kind of stuff out.
And it's called Believe It When I See It.

_ [A#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
[A#] _ _ [Fm] _ [A#] _ _ _ [G#] _ _
_ [C#] _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _ [C#]
Whistling [F#] over _ trestles [C] and past the graveyard [C#] sign,
_ [C#m] we cast our [B] wayward line [G#] inside a wishing well.
_ _ We're [C#] just a wish and an [F#] empty vessel, _ _ [C]
a hole to fill with days.
[C#m] On a road where children [B] stray, then [G#] pray there is no hell.
_ And as for [C#] heaven, well, [A#m] they're seeing,
they're seeing is [F#] believing.
[C#] I'll [A#m] believe it, believe it [F#] when I see it.
I'll [F] believe it when I see it [A#m] with my own two [G#] eyes.

[C#] I'll [A#m] believe it, believe it when I [F#] see it.
I'll believe it [Fm] when I see [A#m] it with my own two [G#] eyes.
_ _ _ _ Well, [C#] now this ain't no random [F#] shuffle.
_ _ [C] There's reason in these [C#] rhymes, _ [C#m] a season and [B] a time,
a [G#] climate of fear and blood.
_ _ In [C#] the tavern to mend its [F#] scuffle,
_ [C] their drunken battle moans.
_ [C#m] They groan like [B] cattle groan.
[G#] No diamonds here in the rub.
_ And as for peace [C#] and love, [A#m] they're seeing,
seeing is [F#] believing.
[C#]
I'll [A#m] believe it, believe it when I see [C#] it.
[A#] I'll believe [Fm] it when I see it with my [G#] own two eyes. _ _ _ _
Well, and when faced with a difficult decision,
would [C#] you listen to your heart of mine? _ _
[F#] We're bound to waste all our free will and ambition.
[C#] We've got no vision, [G#] and we've got no spine.
