Em7                                 A
Why don't we make believe we're in love again
Em7                                 A
Who says the crimson moon doesn't shine
Em7                              A
Where do people go when they're looking for that
F#/A#    Bm
one of a kind
Em7                                  A
Why don't we make believe that we're sorry
Em7                        A
Why must we hold it all inside
Em7                              A
Where do lovers go when they're running and there's
F#/A#       Bm
no place to hide

Cmaj7   Em7     Fmaj7
Always remember, the day we met in the pouring rain
Cmaj7     Em7     F#m7
You were content and, we went our separate ways

Chorus:
   Am7                  Em7
No matter which way the wind blows now
F#m7          C#m7
Hang on to it anyhow
Dsus4                                   A/C# B/D#
Don't ever say it could never be the same

Why don't we make believe we're in love again?
Who said the crimson moon doesn't shine?
Where do people go
When they're lookin' for that one of a kind?

Why don't we make believe that we're sorry?
Why must we hold it all inside?
Where do lovers go when they're runnin'
And there's no place to hide?

Chorus:
(Always rememberin') Holding hands on a summer day
(No more pretendin') You took it all away
I didn't come here to change your mind
Lead you on or waste your time
All alone in the evening, gettin' blue

Why don't we make believe?

Why don't we make believe we're in love again?
Who said the crimson moon doesn't shine?
Where do people go
When they're lookin' for that one of a kind?

Why don't we make believe that we're sorry?
Why must we hold it all inside?
Where do lovers go when they're runnin'
And there's no place to hide?

Why don't we make believe?
Why don't we make believe?
