Say, its only a pa-per moon
Gb5    B5     E5   B5    E5
Sailing over a cardboard sea
       Ab5    Ab5  A5      Gb5
But it wouldn't be make-believe
   B5  Gb5 B5     E5   E5  Gb5
If you believed in me


E5         B5   Gb5 B5 B5
Yes, it's only a can-vas sky
Gb5    B5     E5   B5  E5
Hanging over a muslin tree
       Ab5   Ab5  A5     Gb5
But it wouldn't be make-believe
    B5 Gb5  B5     E5
If you believed in me


   Gb5 A5  E5
Without your love
B5  Gb5  B5       E5
It's a honky-tonk parade
   Gb5  A5 E5
Without your love
B5   E5   B5  C#5        Gb5      B5
It's a melody played in a penny arcade


E5      B5       Gb5 B5 B5
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Gb5    B5        E5  B5 E5
Just as phony as it can be
       Ab5   Ab5 B5     Gb5
But it wouldn't be make-believe
