Verse
[Bbmaj7] [Bdim] [Cm7] [F7]
Say it's only a paper moon
[Cm7] [Cdim] [Bbmaj7] [Bb6]
sailing over a cardboard sea
[Bb] [G7] [Eb6] [Cm7]
but it wouldn't be make-believe
[F] [F9] [Bbmaj7] [F9]
if you believed in me
Verse
[Bbmaj7] [Bdim] [Cm7] [F7]
Yes, it's only a canvas sky
[Cm7] [Cdim] [Bbmaj7] [Bb6]
hanging over a muslin tree
[Bb] [G7] [Eb6] [Cm7]
but it wouldn't be make-believe
[F] [F9] [Bbmaj7] [Bb7]
if you believed in me
Chorus
[Eb6] [Edim] [Bb] [Gm7]
Without your love
[Csus7] [F6] [Bbmaj7] [Bb7]
it's a honky-tonk parade
[Eb6] [Edim] [Bb/F] [G7]
without your love
[Ab6] [G7] [C7] [F7]
it's a melody played in a penny arcade
Verse
[Bbmaj7] [Bdim] [Cm7] [F7]
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
[Cm7] [Cdim] [Bbmaj7] [Bb6]
just as phony as it can be
[Bb] [G7] [Eb6] [Edim]
but it wouldn't be make-believe
[Cm7] [F9] [Bbmaj7] [F9]
if you believed in me
