Intro

Verse 1

Is there anyone who

Ever remembers

changing their mind from

The paint on a sign?

Is there anyone who

really recalls

Ever

breaking rank at all

For something

someone yelled real loud one time

Pre-Chorus

Everyone believes

In how they think it ought to

Everyone believ

And

they're not going easily

Verse

Belief is a beautiful armor

But makes for the heaviest sword

Like punching under water

You never can hit who you're trying for

Some need the exhibition

And some have to know they tried

It's the chemical weapon

For the

war that's raging on ins

ide

Pre-Chorus

Everyone believes

From

emptiness to everything

Everyone believes

And

no ones going quietly

[Chorus] x2

We're never gonna win the wo

rld

We're never gonna

stop the war

We're never gonna beat this

If be

lief is what we're

fighting for

Bridge

Is there anyone who

can remember

Ever surrender,

with their life on the line

Solo

Chorus

We're never gonna win the world

We're never gonna

stop the war

We're never gonna beat this

If be

lief is what we're

fighting for X2

Outro

What puts a h

undred thousand c

hildren in the sand

Belief can

What puts the

folded flag insid

e his mother's hand

Belief ca

Cheers. I know this is 100% right. The song becomes easier to play if you know

the order it goes in. For reference the song goes.
