I nev-er feel a thing is real

-6    -6b -6 4  -4   5
When I'm a-way from you

-5   5  -5  -4   4
Out of your em-brace

5     6     -5 -6 -5 5  -5  -3b -3    4
The world's a tem-po-ra-ry par-king place

6    -3b  5   4
Mmm, mm, mm, mm

5   6  -5 -5  -3b 5  4
A bub-ble for a min-ute

6    -3b
Mmm, mm

You smile, the bub-ble has a rain-bow in it

Say, it's on-ly a pa-per moon

3    3  -5 -5  -3  5   -4    4
Sail-ing o-ver a card-board sea

3   3    6   6   6   -6  -5  -4
But it would-n't be make be-lieve

4   -3 -6   6    -3  4
If you be-lieved in me

3     3    6   6   6  -5  5
Yes, it's only a can-vas sky

3     3  -5 -5 -5  5  -4   4
Hang-ing o-ver a mus-lin tree

3    3   6   6   6   -6  -5  -4
But it would-n't be make be-lieve

4   -3 -6    6   -3  4
If you be-lieved in me

4     4    -4  5
With-out your love

-5   -6 6  6   5   5   4
It's a hon-ky-tonk pa-rade

4    -4   -4   5
With-out your love

-4   5   6 6  6   6    -4 5  -6 -6 -6  -6
It's a mel-o-dy played in a pen-ny ar-cade

3    3   6  6   6   -5  5   -4
It's a bar-num and bai-ley world

3     3  -5  -5 -5 5  -4  4
Just as phon-y as it can be

3    3   6   6    6  -6  -5   4
But it would-n't be make be-lieve

4  -3  -6  6     -3  4
