. . . Say, it's only a paper moon . . . . . sailing over a cardboard sea,

. . . But it wouldn't be make believe . . . . if you believed in me.
Yes, it's only a canvas sky,
hanging over a muslin tree,
But it wouldn't be make believe,
if you believed in me. . . . . Dm . . D#m . Em . . . . . . Dm7 . G7 . . . .C Without . . your . . love, it's a honky tonk parade
. . . . Dm . . D#m . Em . . . . . . . . . . C . . . . . A7 . . . . . . . Dm . . . G7
Without . . your . . love . . . . it's a melody played at a penny arcade.
It's a Barnum And Bailey world,
just as phony as it can be,
But it wouldn't be make believe, if you believed in me.
