G D Em
I lay here pretending to sleep
C D G Em
Someone’s always asking for something of me
C D G Em
I try to hide but I’m stripped of my strength
C G C G
Bound by the truth, bored by the speed
Em D G
And the promise of the fortune it brings
C D G
Oh mama, I just don't believe
G D Em
Like it happened in a Broadway scene
C D G Em
Are we still acting, is this the real you and me
C D G Em
The words don’t flow, but my heart it still bleeds
C G C G
Bound by the love, the warmth that it brings
Em D G
And its promise to fix everything
C D G
Oh mama, I just don't believe
[Chorus]
C D G
Angel wings tied to memories
Bm Em Bm Em
They'll never fly, for you and I
C D G
Angel wings tied to melodies
Bm Em C D
They'll never sing, for you and me

G D Em
A young man whose soul was burning
C D G
The hands of the people guiding him on
G D Em
He was moving along, mama he was cooking
C G C G
But the calendar won, his earnings are gone
Em D G
And this fortune that this young man saw
C D G
Oh mama, I don’t believe in it at all
C D G
Angel wings tied to memories
Bm Em Bm Em
They'll never fly, for you and I
C D G
Angel wings tied to melodies
Bm Em C D
They'll never sing, for you and me
Bm Em C D
For you and me, They'll never sing
Bm Em C D
They'll never sing, They'll never sing
Bm Em C D
They'll never sing, They'll never sing
C D G
Oh mama, I just don't believe
C D G
Oh mama, I just don't believe
