"It's Only A Paper Moon" by Billy Rose, E.Y. Harburg, and Harold Arlen

Verse 1:

[G]Say, it's [E7]only a [Am7]paper [D7]moon,
[D]Sailing [D7]over a [G]card[D7]board [G]sea,
[G]But it [E7]wouldn't be [Am7]make be[D7]lieve,
If [Am7]you be[D7]lieved in [G]me. [D7]

Verse 2:

[G]Yes, it's [E7]only a [Am7]canvas [D7]sky,
[D]Hanging [D7]over a [G]mus[D7]lin [G]tree,
[G]But it [E7]wouldn't be [Am7]make be[D7]lieve,
If [Am7]you be[D7]lieved in [G]me. [G7]

Bridge:

With[Am7]out [Gdim]your [Bm]love,
It's a [Am7]honky [D7]tonk pa[G]rade, [G7]
With[Am7]out [Gdim]your [Bm]love,
It's a [G]melody [E7]played at a [D7+5]penny arcade.

Verse 3:

[G]It's a [E7]Barnum and [Am7]Bailey [D7]world,
[D]Just as [D7]phony as [G]it [D7]can [G]be,
[G]But it [E7]wouldn't be [Am7]make be[D7]lieve,
If [Am7]you be[D7]lieved in [G]me.
