Verse 1:
Bb       Dm7    Cm7   F7
Say it's only a paper moon
Eb             Bb
Sailing over a cardboard sea
Bb                 Eb
But it wouldn't be make-believe
   Cm7 F7          Bb
If you believed in me
Bb        Dm7    Cm7    F7
Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Eb             Bb
Hanging over a muslin tree
Bb                 Eb
But it wouldn't be make-believe
   Cm7 F7          Bb
If you believed in me
 
Chorus:
    Cm7 Dbm7 Dm7
Without your love
       Eb    Dm7    Bb
It's a honky-tonk parade
   Cm7  Dbm7 Dm7
Without your love
       Eb                 Ebm7
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
 

Bb     Dm7        Cm7    F7
It's a barnum and bailey world
Eb               Bb
Just as phony as it can be
Bb                 Eb
But it wouldn't be make-believe
   Cm7 F7         Bb
If you believed in me
