[Intro]
Gm7 F2/A
There are people and they are publishing my book,
Gm7 F2/A
And there's a party that they are throwing.
Bbm7 F2/C
And while you've made it very clear that you're not going,
Db2 F2
I will be going, and that's done.
Dm9 Bbmaj7#11
But what's it really about? Is it really about a party Cathy?
Dm9 C/E Eb/F Gm/F
Can we please for a minute stop blaming and say what you feel?
Bb/C F/C Gm7/C F/C
Is it just that you're disappointed to be touring again for the summer?
Ab6/9 Eb2/G Fm7
Did you think this would all be much easier than it's turned out to be?
Gm11 Fsus
Well then talk to me, Cathy, talk to me.
[Verse 1]
F Bb/D Eb2 Fsus F
If I didn't believe in you, we'd never have gotten this far.
F2/A F2/B Bbm(maj7)
If I didn't believe in you and all of the ten thousand women you are,
F2/C Dm11 F2/C Am7
If I didn't think you could do anything you ever wanted to,
Bb2 F2/A G7sus G7
If I wasn't certain that you'd come through somehow,
Gm7 F2/A Bb2 Bb/C
The fact of the matter is, Cathy, I wouldn't be standing here now.
[Verse 2]
F Bb/D Eb6 F2
If I didn't believe in you, we wouldn't be having this fight.
F2/A F2/B Bbm(maj7)
If I didn't believe in you, I'd walk out that door and say, "Cathy you're right."
F/A Dm9 F/C Am7
But I never could let that go knowing the things about you I know,
Bb2 F2/A G7sus G7
Things, when I met you four years ago, I knew
Gm7 F2/A Eb/Bb Bb/C F Bb2/D Eb2
It never took much convincing to make me believe in you.
[Bridge]
Cm7 Bb2/D
Don't we get to be happy Cathy?
Cm7 Bb2/D Eb
At some point down the line don't we get to relax,
Bb2 F Bb/F F
without some new tsuris to push me yet further from you.
Am7b5 Ab6/9
If I'm cheering on your side, Cathy,
Am7b5 Ab6/9
Why can't you support mine? Why do I have to
Eb2 Bb2 C
feel I've committed some felony doing what I always swore I would do?
Am11 D/A
I don't want you to hurt,
Am11/F D/F
I don't want you to sink,
D7sus D7(b5) Ab7(b5) C/G
But you know what I think? I think you'll be fine!
C/Bb
Just hang on and you'll see!
F2/A Fm9/Ab
But don't make me wait 'til you do to be happy with you.
C2/G Gsus
Will you listen to me?
Dbmaj7 Dm7
No one can give you courage.
Eb6/9 Csus
No one can thicken your skin.
Fm7 Bb6/9 F7/A G7/B
I will not fail so you can be comfortable Cathy.
Ab/C Db Bb/D Eb Ab/C Db2 Eb
I will not lose because you can't win.
[Instrumental]
Eb Ab/C Db2 Eb
[Verse 3]
Eb Ab/C Db2 Ebsus Eb
If I didn't believe in you, then here's where the travelogue ends.
Eb2/G Eb2/A Abm(maj7)
If I didn't believe in you, I couldn't have stood before all of our friends
Eb2/G Cm7 Eb/Bb Gm7
And said, "This is the life I choose. This is the thing I can't bear to loose.
Abmaj7 Eb/G F7sus F7
Trip us or trap us but we refuse to fall."
Fm7 Eb2/G Fm7 Eb2/G
That's what I thought we agreed on, Ca - thy.
Ab Fm7 Eb/Bb Cm11
If I hadn't believed in you,
Fm Ab/Bb Eb Ab/C Db2 Eb
I wouldn't have love you at all.
[Instrumental]
Eb Ab/C Db2 Eb
