C#
Tell me you believe in love,
G#
It's not an illusion.

F#                            G#
I've been thinking, 'bout the nights,
                  A#m
And the dangerous tricks,
                    C#
People play on the eyes of the innocent,
F#                   G#
I can turn a lot of hearts,
                  A#m
into breaks with smoke and,
              C#
mirrors disappearing,
right in front of them.

F#     G#
But believe me,
    A#m             C#
I'm not trying to deceive you,
   F#                  G#
I promise falling for me
Won't be a mistake.

Chorus:
C#                F#
No baby, this is not an illusion,
G#
I've really got my heart out on my sleeve.
C#                F#
Oh baby, this is not an illusion,
G#
There's magic between you and me.
C#                F#
No baby, this is not an illusion,
G#
You really got me lifted on my feet.
C#   F#                     G#
So, tell me you believe in love,
Cause it's not an illusion to me.

You don't ever have to worry,
How the cards fall,
I'm all that you need tonight.
I would never turn your heart,
into broken parts.
You don't have to think twice,
Looking in my eyes.

Can't you see it?
I'm not trying to mislead you.
I promise falling for me,
Won't be a mistake.

Chorus

F#                     G#
You can tie me up in chains,
                       A#m
You can throw away the key,
                        C#
But there's no trapped doors,
I'm not gonna leave.

You're the truth I can't explain,
You're the only one I see,
It's not an illusion to me.

Chorus

So tell me you believe in love,
Cause it's not an illusion to me.
