[Primeira Parte]
D C#m
I'm so sorry when I told you
Bm A7M
Those smokestacks were making clouds for the sky
D C#m
But if I told you the truth
Bm
It would just bring so many tears
A7M
So many tears to your eyes
[Refrão]
Bm
I said it that's the way it is
A7M
And the way it's gonna be
Bm
If that's the way it is
A7M
I'd rather make believe
[Segunda Parte]
D C#m
Oh remember sitting on that beach
Bm A7M
Watching all tha lightning fill up the sky
D
Well you got so scared
C#m Bm A7M
Until I told you it was just fireworks like the fourth of July
[Refrão]
Bm
I said it that's the way it is
A7M
And the way it's gonna be
Bm
If that's the way it is
A7M
I'd rather make believe

[Terceira Parte]
D
I know one day you'll be old enough
C#m Bm A7M
To know my stories I told are not true
D
But when you have your own children
C#m
And they ask you questions
Bm A7M
You'll know, you'll know just what to do
[Refrão]
Bm
You'll say it that's the way it is
A7M
And the way it's gonna be
Bm
If that's the way it is
A7M
I'd rather make believe
Bm
Oh that's the way it is
A7M
And the way it's gonna be
Bm
If that's the way it is
A7M
I'd rather make believe
