Duvalier was a bitter man who cursed the morning sun
Am Em Am
That brought a new betrayal every day
Am C G
He shunned the world of mortals and the sounds of human tongues
Am G E
And blessed the night that chased their sight away
Am C G Am
A disillusioned dreamer who would never love again
Am C E
Who'd tried of it and found that it was rotten
Am C G
Preferring perfect strangers to the company of friends
Am Em Am G
For strangers are so easily forgotten
C
Oh, it's hard to keep believing when you know you've been deceived
G
To face a lie and dare to try again,
G
but there's nothing like a woman with a spell of make believe
Am
to make a new believer of a man

Duvalier took the fickle turns of fortune in his stride
Am Em Am
Expecting next to nothing out of life
Am C G
Till fortune found a girl who fanned a flame he thought had died
Am G E
Whose burning beauty cut him like a knife
Am C G Am
She touched him through the senses that his mind could not control
Am C E
Then smiling stepped aside and watched him fall
Am C G
Betrayed by his own body and the hunger in his soul
Am Em Am G
Duvalier was a dreamer after all
C
Oh, it's hard to keep believing when you know you've been deceived
G
To face a lie and dare to try again,
G
but there's nothing like a woman with a spell of make believe
Am
to make a new believer of a man
