[INTRO]
G7 C G7 C G7 C G7 C
I never feel a thing is real when I'm away from you
Gdim C F A7 G7 C
Out of your embrace - the world's a temporary parking place
Gdim Am G C G Dm Am
Mmm mmm mmm mmm A bubble for a minute
Gdim Am G C Dm D7 G G+
Mmm mmm mmm mmm You smile - the bubble has a rainbow in it


[VERSE 1]
C Gdim Dm7 G G7 C G C G7
Say, it's only a paper moon, sailing over a cardboard sea,
C A7 Dm7 G7 C Dm7 F#dim G7
But it wouldn't be make believe, if you believed in me.


[VERSE 2]
C Gdim Dm7 G G7 C G C G7
Yes, it's only a canvas sky, hanging over a muslin tree,
C A7 Dm7 G7 C C7
But it wouldn't be make believe, if you believed in me.


[CHORUS]
Dm7 Bmaj7 Cmaj7 Dm7 G7 C C7
With out your love, it's a honky tonk parade,
Dm7 Bmaj7 Cmaj7 C Gdim Adim G+
With out your love, it's a melody played at a penny arcade.


[VERSE 3]
C Gdim Dm7 G G7 C G C G7
It's a Barnum and Bailey world, just as phony as it can be,
C A7 Dm7 G7 C
But it wouldn't be make believe, if you believed in me.

FINAL LINE
C A7 Dm7 G7 E G7 C
But it wouldn't be make believe, if you believed in me. If you believed in me.
