Paper Moon Lyrics & Chords By Over The Rhine

It's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
It's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in the penny arcade
It's Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
It's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
Yeah, It's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in the penny arcade
It's Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
Now, it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
