Old man Wrigley lived in that white house,
EDown the street where I grew up.
F#mMomma used to send me over with things
AWe struck a friendship up.
DI spent a few long summers, out on hEis old porch swing. A
ASays he was in the war went in the Navy.
ELost his wife lost his baby.
F#mBroke down and asked him one time
AHow ya keep from going cra-zy G D
He said I'll seeD my wife and son in just a little while
IA asked him what he meant
EHe looked at me
Smiled and said..
<--Chorus-->
I raise my hands.A
BoEw my head
I'm Dfinding more and more truth
In theD words written in red
They teBmll me that there's more to C#mlife
Than Djust what I can see E
Oh I beliAeve, mmm-mmm E
Few years later I was off at college
Talkin' to mom on the phone one night
Getting all caught up on the gossip
The ins and outs of the small town life
She said oh by the way, son
Old man Wrigley's died
Later on that night
I laid there thinkin' back
Thought 'bout couple long-lost summers
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh
If there was ever anybody
Deserved a ticket to the other side
I'd be that sweet old man
Who looked me in the eye said
-Chorus- (Without the last line, 'Oh I Believe')
F#mI can't quote the book
ThBbmmaj7e chapter or the verse
YouA can't tell me it all ends
In aB slow ride in a hearse
You know BmI'm more and more convinced
The longerA that I live
ThisBm can't be
No tC#mhis can't be
No this can'Dt be all there is. E
Chorus......
