                             C
 1. Well I guess it would be nice   If I could touch your bo-dy
               F                                   C
    I know not ev’-ry-bo-dy   Has got a bo-dy like you
                          C
    But I've got to think twice   Be-fore I give my heart a-way
               F                                             C
    And I know all the games you play   Be-cause I play them too

             F                       C
 ** Oh but I need some time off from that e-mo-tion
    F                                C
    Time to pick my heart up off the floor
                 F                    C      Am
    Oh when that love comes down with-out de-vo-tion
            Dm                                 G
    Well it takes a strong man ba-by   But I'm show-ing you the door

                             C
Chorus: 'Cause I got-ta have faith   I got-ta have faith

        'Cause I got-ta have a - faith – a – faith – a – faith

         I got-ta have faith – a – faith – a – faith

          
 2. Ba-by   I know you're ask-ing me to stay
                         F
    Stay please, please, please, don't go a-way
                                C
    You say I'm giv-ing you the blues
        
    May-be   You mean ev’-ry word you say
                   F
    Can't help but think of yes-ter-day
                      C
    And a-no-ther who tied me down to lo-ver-boy rules

       F                     C
 ** Be-fore this ri-ver   Be-comes an o-cean
       F                                   C
    Be-fore you throw my heart back on the floor
               F                  C        Am
    Oh ba-by I re-con-si-der   My fool-ish no-tion
           Dm                                  G
    Well I need some-one to hold me   But I'll wait for some-thing more

                          C
Chorus: Yes I got-ta have faith   I got-ta have faith

       'Cause I got-ta have faith – a – faith – a – faith

        I got-ta have faith – a – faith – a – faith
