[E] [F#]
[B] Say [A] it's [C#m] only a paper moon, [B] sailing over a cardboard sea,
but it [C#m] wouldn't be make-believe if you [F#] believed [B] in me.
[F#]
[B] [C] Yes, it's only [E] a canvas sky, [F#] hanging over [B] a muslin tree,
[D#] but it [C#m] wouldn't be make-believe if you believed [G#m] in me.
[E] Without your [G#m] love, it's a honky-tonk parade.
[E] Without [F] your [G#m] love, [B] it's a melody [G#] played [G#m] in a penny [C#m] arcade.
[G#m] [D#m] It's a bottom [C#m] and belly world, just [F#] as phony [B] as it can be,
but it wouldn't [E] be make-believe [F#] if you believed in me.

Say it's [G#] only a paper [C#m] moon, sailing over [B] a cardboard sea,

world, just as phony as it can be,
[Bm] but [F#m] it wouldn't [E] be make-believe if you [F#] believed in [G#m] me.
[F] It's phony, it's plain to see, [Gm] how happy I would be
[F] if you [Em] believed [B] in me.
