 There’s this guy I know
 He’s not doing so well
 And I don’t think he’d mind
 If you called just to tell
 Him you  love him.
 I think that  would help him.
 He’s been down for days
 And I don’t know what to do
 He’s been holding his pillow like it’s you
 His state’s so  depressing
 His room smells like  crying
 And I know,
 He loves you more than  breathing
 More than  being happy.
 I know,
 He loves you like it’s  tearing him apart.
 There’s a guy outside your window
 With a  cracked guitar
 And a broken heart
 But I don’t think you  hear him, though
 I don’t think you  hear him
 And he’s been  going where the wind blows
 He’s taken  shelter by your house
 But you’re not  coming out
 My  best friend  says “Believe”
 He walks by your house every night around 12
 Sits a  block away- a safe distance
 He dwells on  mixed feelings
 He thinks about  dying.
 He talks to himself, but he’s talking to you
 In his  head you can hear him like this
 Through the  curtains and window
 He bids you good  night now.
 And I know,
 He loves you more than  breathing
 More than  being happy.
 I know,
 He loves you like it’s  tearing him apart.
 There’s a guy outside your window
 With a  cracked guitar
 And a broken heart
 But I don’t think you  hear him, though
 I don’t think you  hear him
 And he’s been  going where the wind blows
 He’s taken  shelter by your house
 But you’re not  coming out
 My  best friend  says “Believe”
 Believe in everything that  you’ve got going on
 Just believe in Me!
 Just believe in Me!
 And “Need”, now there’s a word that  you can’t comprehend
 But know it lives with Me!
 Know it lives.
 My only friend is a  guy outside your window
 With a  cracked guitar
 And a broken heart
 But I don’t think you  hear him, though
 I don’t think you  hear him
 And he’s been  going where the wind blows
 He’s taken  shelter by your house
 But you’re not  coming out
 My  best friend  says “Believe”

[D5] There’s this guy I know
He’s not doing so well
[B5] And I don’t think he’d mind
If you called just to tell
Him you [A5] love him.
I think that [G5] would help him.

[D5] He’s been down for days
And I don’t know what to do
[B5] He’s been holding his pillow like it’s you
His state’s so [A5] depressing
His room smells like [G5] crying

[Em] And I know,
He loves you more than [Bm] breathing
More than [A] being happy.
[Em] I know,
He loves you like it’s [A] tearing him apart.

[D] There’s a guy outside your window
With a [A] cracked guitar
And a broken heart
But I don’t think you [Em] hear him, though
I don’t think you [G] hear him  [A]
And he’s been [D] going where the wind blows
He’s taken [A] shelter by your house
But you’re not [Em] coming out
My [G] best friend [A] says “Believe”

[D] He walks by your house every night around 12
Sits a [Bm] block away- a safe distance
He dwells on [A] mixed feelings
He thinks about [G] dying.

[D] He talks to himself, but he’s talking to you
In his [Bm] head you can hear him like this
Through the [A] curtains and window
He bids you good [G] night now.

[Em] And I know,
He loves you more than [Bm] breathing
More than [A] being happy.
[Em] I know,
He loves you like it’s [A] tearing him apart.

[D] There’s a guy outside your window
With a [A] cracked guitar
And a broken heart
But I don’t think you [Em] hear him, though
I don’t think you [G] hear him  [A]
And he’s been [D] going where the wind blows
He’s taken [A] shelter by your house
But you’re not [Em] coming out
My [G] best friend [A] says “Believe”

[A] Believe in everything that [Bm] you’ve got going on
[D] Just believe in Me!
[D] Just believe in Me!
[A] And “Need”, now there’s a word that [Bm] you can’t comprehend
[D] But know it lives with Me!
[D] Know it lives.

My only friend is a [D] guy outside your window
With a [A] cracked guitar
And a broken heart
But I don’t think you [Em] hear him, though
I don’t think you [G] hear him  [A]
And he’s been [D] going where the wind blows
He’s taken [A] shelter by your house
But you’re not [Em] coming out
My [G] best friend [A] says “Believe”
