Say it's only a paper moon, 

 3  3  -5-5 -5   5  -4    4
Sailing over a cardboard sea.

 3  3    6  6   6   -6   -5 -4  
But it wouldn't be make believe

 4  -3  -6  6  -3  4
if you believe in me.

Yes, it's only a canvas sky

 3  3  -5-5 -5   5 -4   4
Hanging over a muslin tree.

 3  3   6  6    6  -6   -5 -4   
But it wouldn't be make believe

 4  -3  -6  6  -3  4

 5   5  6 6 6   6     5 6 -6 -6  -6 -6
it's a melody played in a penny arcade.

It's a Barnum and Bailey world,

 3   3  -5-5 -5  5  -4   4
Just as phony as it can be.

 3   3  6  6    6   -6  -5 -4   
But it wouldn't be make believe

4  -3   -6  6   -3  4
if you believed in me.
