Making believe  that you still love me
             G#           C#
It's leaving me alone and so blue
                        F#             C#
Still I'll always dream but I'll never own  you
          G#                   C#
Making believe, it's all I can do               
           G#                    C#
Can't hold you close when you're not with me

You're somebody's love, you'll never be mine
           C#    F#                C#
Making believe   I'll spend my  lifetime

Making believe that I never lost you

But my happy hours, I find are so few
                 Eb     Ab              Eb
My plans for the future will never come true
       Bb                       Eb
Making believe, what else can I do
            Eb  Ab            Eb
Making believe, I'll spend my lifetime
       Bb               Eb
Loving you and making believe
