Poor Make Believer

Johnnie Taylor


Tom: F

F           C/E       Dm        Dm7/C
Like a shower of rain from a cloudy sky
Bb                          F
tears keep falling from my eyes
F           C/E        Dm       Dm7/C
I said I was happy to see you go
Bb                                   F
But now its plain to see it hurts me so

[Chorus]
  F   C/E       Dm        Dm/C      Bb             F
Im a poor make believer, thats all I am and never more
F   C/E       Dm        Dm/C      Bb             F
Im a poor make believer, thats all I am and never more

[Verse 2]
F   C/E           Dm         Dm/C  Bb                          F
I played a part of a happy man, but deep in my heart I feel so blue
F  C/E           Dm     Dm/C       Bb                      F
My heart is made of silly thing, its so easy to see right trough
F   C/E     Dm     Dm/C       Bb                   F
Im a poor make believer, thats all I am and never more
F   C/E   Dm        Dm/C       Bb                  F
Im a poor make believer, thats all I am and never more

[Instrumental]
F   C/E           Dm                 Dm/C       Bb                             F

[Bridge]
Dm                                        Am
To be a pretender is not an easy game, not an easy game to play
Dm                                            Am         G/H              C
I just just walk around with tears in my eyes, not great big smile on my face

[Verse 3]
F   C/E    Dm     Dm/C    Bb                 F
Im tired of pretending, I wanna love that’s real
F      C/E   Dm     Dm/C    Bb               F
Im tired of pretending, I wanna love I can feel
F         C/E     Dm      Dm/C           Bb                     F
I tell my friends Im doing better now, to be gone our separate ways
F      C/E        Dm             Dm/C     Bb                               F
Each and every night I shed salty tears,Behind lies I telll each and every day

[Chorus]
F     C/E   Dm        Dm/C   Bb                   F
Im a poor make believer, thats all I am and never more
F     C/E   Dm         Dm/C    Bb                      F
Im just a poor make believer, thats all I am and never more
