Verse 2
 
  D                                  Dmaj7 
I just can't help believin' when she slips her hand in my hand, 
       Em                                  A7                            D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4 
And it feels so small and helpless that my fingers fold around it like a glove. 
      D                                    Dmaj7 
And I just can't help believin' when she's whisperin' her magic, 
        D7                                 G     Gm 
And her tears are shinin' honey sweet with love.
