[Verse 1]
G            E7     Am7   D7
You say it's only a paper moon
Am7     D      G
Sailing over a cardboard sea
G       E7         Am     Am7
But it wouldn't be make believe
D          D7       G
If you believed in me
 
 
[Verse 2]
G        E7      Am7   D7
Yes, its only a canvas sky
Am7     D      G
Hanging over a muslin tree
G       E7         Am    Am7
But it wouldn't be make-believe
D        D7        G
If you believed in me
 
 
[Chorus]
C         F#7          G
Without your love
Am7   D7     G     G7
It's a honky tonk parade
C         F#7        G
Without your love
Am           Am7          D       D7
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
 
 
[Verse 3]
G       E7        Am7    D7
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Am7     D        G
Just as phony as it can be
G      E7          Am      Am7
But it wouldn't be make-believe
D        D7        G
If you believed in me
