F                                  C
I believe kids oughta stay kids as long as they can
F                                         G
Turn off the screen, go climb a tree, get dirt on their hands
F                              C
I believe we gotta forgive and make amends
F                                    G
Cause nobody gets a second chance to make new old friends
F                             C
I believe in working hard for what you've got
F                            G
Even if it don't add up to a hell of a lot


[Chorus]
F
I believe most people are good
         Am
And most Mama's oughta qualify for sainthood
C                                                   G
I believe most Friday nights look better underneath neon stadium lights
F
I believe you love who you love
      Am
Ain't nothing you should ever be ashamed of
    C                                        G
I believe this world ain't half as bad as it looks
                          F
I believe most people are good


[Verse 2]
F                             C
I believe streets of gold are worth the work
F                                      G
But I still wanna go even if they were paved in dirt
F                             C
I believe that youth is spent well on the young
F                                     G
Cause wisdom in your teens would be a lot less fun
F                               C
I believe if you just go by the nightly news
F                                      G
Your faith in all mankind would be the first thing you lose


[Chorus]
F
I believe most people are good
         Am
And most Mama's oughta qualify for sainthood
C                                                   G
I believe most Friday nights look better underneath neon stadium lights
F
I believe you love who you love
      Am
Ain't nothing you should ever be ashamed of
    C                                        G
I believe this world ain't half as bad as it looks
                          F
I believe most people are good


[Bridge]
F                               Am
I believe that days go slow and years go fast
    C                                G
And every breath's a gift, the first one to the last


[Chorus]
F
I believe most people are good
         Am
And most Mama's oughta qualify for sainthood
C                                                   G
I believe most Friday nights look better underneath neon stadium lights
F
I believe you love who you love
      Am
Ain't nothing you should ever be ashamed of
    C                                        G
I believe this world ain't half as bad as it looks
                          F
I believe most people are good


[Outro]
F                         C
I believe most people are good
F                         C
I believe most people are good
