Chords for American Songwriter Live: Allison Moorer

[Dm] _ _ This is the title track to my new album,
Down to Believin'.
[A] I _ wrote this song_
when I wrote this song I knew that I was going to make another record.
Before I did, I wasn't sure. _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _
It's one of my favorite things I've ever written
and _
[Eb] is about
a _ _ certain way, certain relationships.
[Dm] We _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] found it hanging [Am] from a cloud that [G] time we went up there. _
_ _ [Dm] It looked [Am] like diamonds
[G] and pearls. _ _
_ [F] There was so much [C] of it
I wore a [G] little in my hair. _
_ _ [F] _ Everyone [C]
said,
[G] silly girl, _ _ _
_ _ [D] coming down [Am] wasn't easy but
we [G] tried our best. _
_ [D] Except we used it up and [Am] didn't put [G] in it back. _ _
_ [F] Now you look so [C]
surprised
[G] cause there ain't none left. _
_ [F] And we're just empty
[C] _
hearted [G] and sad. _ _
_ [F] So I guess it [C] comes down
to [G] _ _ _ believin'.
_ [F] Whether [C] we do or we [G] _ don't, _
_ [Dm] I guess it [Am] comes down
[G] to stayin' or leavin'
[F] and whether [C] we will or we [G] won't. _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] Staring down [Am] at the ground ain't [G] gonna help us none. _
_ [Dm] There's no need [Am] in making
[G] this hard. _ _
_ [F] Hell, life's too [C] long to wake up every day
[G] without someone. _
_ _ [F] Lacks all [C] your
scratches [G] and scars. _ _
_ [F] So I guess it [C] comes down
to [G] _ _ believin'.
_ [F] And whether [C] we do
or [G] we don't, _ _ [Dm] I guess it [Am] comes down
[G] to stayin' or leavin'
[F] and whether [C] we will or [G] we won't. _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _
Anybody [A] that ever [Ab] loved anybody
[Am] _ _ knows this is part [A] of the deal.
_ [Am] _
_ _ [Dm] You just have to hold [Am] on
[A] _ [Am] forever after [E] it's [F] all _ _ _ [E] gone. _
_ _ _ _ [F] Then I guess it comes [C] down to [G] _
believin'.
_ _ [F] And whether we [C] do or we [G] _
don't,
_ _ _ [Dm]
I guess it [Am] comes down to [G]
stayin' _ or [F] leavin'
and whether [C] we will or [G] we won't.
_ _ _ _ [F]
Whether [C] we will or we [G] won't. _ _ _
[Dm] And whether we [A] will or we [Am] won't.
