Verse
Em Em/C D Am7
It seems they haul their diamonds straight from the mine
Em Em/C D Am7
You kept on digging brother, the well's run dry
Em Em/C D Am7
You ran away from home, what did you find?
Em Em/C D Am7
Is this your great escape that jug o' wine?
[Pre-Chorus]
C Cmaj7 D/C Dsus4
It's a shame, such a shame
[Chorus]
G Gmaj9 C
It's only make believe
G Gmaj9 C
It's only make believe, my friend
G Gmaj9 C Am7
It's only make believe, my friend
[Verse 2]
Em Em/C D Am7
Look at the starlings how they, they paint the sky
Em Em/C D Am7
And how they need each other like you and I
Em Em/C D Am7
Here in the swarm of bees outside their hive
Em Em/C D Am7
Apart for everyone, all in good time
[Pre-Chorus]
C Cmaj7 D/C Dsus4
We are the same, we are the same
[Chorus]
G Gmaj9 C
It's only make believe

It's only make believe, my friend
[Verse 3]
Em Em/C D Am7
The wolf is chasing us and it won't quit
Em Em/C D Am7
Maybe the art of life's not becoming it

It's all a game, it's not a game
C Cmaj7 D/C Dsus4
Be the flame, be the flame
[Chorus]
G Gmaj9 C
It's only make believe
G Gmaj9 C
It's only make believe, my friend
G Gmaj9 C
It's only make believe
G Gmaj9 C
It's only make believe, my friend
