INTRO
G7G7   C majorC  G7G7     C majorC  G7G7    C majorC  G7G7  C majorC
I never feel a thing is real when I'm away from you
GdimGdim     C majorC      FF     A7A7  G7G7      C majorC
Out of your embrace - the world's a temporary parking place
GdimGdim A minorAm  G+G  C majorC   G+G   DmDm  A minorAm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm A augmentedA bubble for a minute
GdimGdim A minorAm  G+G  C majorC    DmDm            D7D7   G+G   G+G+
Mmm mmm mmm mmm You smile - the bubble has a rainbow in it


VERSE 1
C majorC     GdimGdim  Dm7Dm7     G+G    G7G7   C majorC  G+G   C majorC  G7G7
Say, it's only a paper moon, sailing over a cardboard sea,
C majorC    A7A7     Dm7Dm7       G7G7       C majorC Dm7Dm7 F#dimF#dim G7G7
 But it wouldn't be make believe, if you believed in me.


VERSE 2
C majorC     GdimGdim  Dm7Dm7     G+G    G7G7   C majorC G+G  C majorC  G7G7
Yes, it's only a canvas sky, hanging over a muslin tree,
C majorC    A7A7     Dm7Dm7       G7G7       C majorC C7C7
 But it wouldn't be make believe, if you believed in me.


CHORUS
   Dm7Dm7 BMaj7Bmaj7 Cmaj7Cmaj7    Dm7Dm7  G7G7   C majorC   C7C7
With out your love, it's a honky tonk parade,
   Dm7Dm7 BMaj7Bmaj7 Cmaj7Cmaj7    C majorC   GdimGdim    AdimAdim  G+G+
With out your love, it's a melody played at a penny arcade.


VERSE 3
C majorC     GdimGdim    Dm7Dm7     G+G     G7G7    C majorC G+G  C majorC  G7G7
  It's a Barnum and Bailey world, just as phony as it can be,
C majorC    A7A7     Dm7Dm7       G7G7       C majorC
 But it wouldn't be make believe, if you believed in me.

FINAL LINE
