We can only make believe 
F     C     G     Am 
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa 
 
We can only make believe 
F     C     G     Am 
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa 
 
(Verse) 
 
F                       Am 
Something that you said got into my head 
C            G 
Here I am falling from the edge 
F                    Am                 C        G 
Waiting for the day I can run away with you, with you 
 
(PreChorus) 
 
     Dm        Am       C         G 
Like angels on fire we burn the sky 
    Dm             Am       C     G 
One kiss and we'd say goodbye 
 
 
                        F     
If we can only make believe (Oh) 
 C               G 
You and me, together (Oh, oh) 
Am                    F 
We can be a King and Queen (Oh) 
 C                    G 
Rule another world forever (Oh, oh) 
Am          F                 C 
We set our course to live or die 
            G        Am              F 
Across the universe I'd be by your side 
   C                    G 
If we could only make believe 
 
We can only make believe 
F     C     G     Am 
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa 
 
We can only make believe 
F     C     G     Am 
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

(PreChorus)... 
 
(Chorus) 
 
 
     F        C 
If we close our eyes 
         G      Am 
Let our hearts collide 
           F        C 
Leave the world outside 
         G      Am 
Leave it all behind 
         F        C 
If we close our eyes 
          G      Am 
Let our hearts collide 
            F        C 
Leave the world outside 
        G      Am 
Leave it all behind 
 
(Bridge) 
           F        C 
Leave the world outside 
          G       Am    
Leave it all behind... 
 
F  C  G  Am  F  C  G 
 
(Chorus)...
