A
[Verse 1]
A
Bottom of the ninth, up against the odds
G
Runnin' out of time, only got one shot
D
When it's really do-or-die, when your back's against the wall
A
When you fightin' for your life, Do you believe in you or not?
A G
I'm a believer, I believe
D A
I'm a believer, I believe
A
Second-guessin' every breath, I'm full of questions
G
Past is full of cigarettes, alcohol and depression
D
Therapists and all the different pills can get expensive
A
All this bottled up aggression, I'm too old to get arrested
A
Almost died tryna get here, got high through my best years
G
Got sober, then I relapsed, then I cleaned up, got my head clear
D
Sometimes it feels like there ain't shit to believe in
A
But I believe that we're all here for a reason, yeah
[Chorus]
A G
You don't think you're a fighter, but I know you are
D A
And you are a liar if you say you aren't
A G
You don't say that you're worth it, but I think you are
D A
And I think you're perfect the way that you are
[Verse 2]
A
Tired of the pressure I put on myself for years
G
Tired from my twenties, the whiskey bottles and beers
D
Tired of smilin' while I've been holdin' back tears
A
But I believe I can Do it, so I'm here
A G
I'm a believer, I believe
D A
I'm a believer, I believe
A
I've been told I have a death wish, no one's interested
G
Cold and too aggressive, close to hypertension
D
I'm broken from the pressure, explosive with my temper
A
I'm sober, but I'm stressin' and hopin' it gets better
A
fallin' off? Should I give it up or put it all on pause?
G
Let Go of this dream so I can visit home and talk to Mom?
D
Maybe all I need's another Instagram post
A
With a quote about believin' in yourself when you're low
[Chorus]
A G
You don't think you're a fighter, but I know you are
D A
And you are a liar if you say you aren't
A G
You don't say that you're worth it, but I think you are
D A
And I think you're perfect the way that you are
[Bridge]
A G
Maybe I'm weaker, and I know I've lost before
D A
But I'm a believer, nothin' is impossible
A G
I'm a believer, I believe
D A
I'm a believer, I believe
[Chorus]
A G
You don't think you're a fighter, but I know you are
D A
And you are a liar if you say you aren't
A G
You don't say that you're worth it, but I think you are
D A
And I think you're perfect the way that you are
