Ink Spots

I'm [C#]making believe that [A#7]you're in my arms
Though [D#m]I know you're so far away
[G#7]Making believe, I'm [A#m]talking to you
[D#7]Wish you could hear what I [G#]say[G#7]
And [C#]here in the gloom of my lonely [Ddim7]room
We're [D#m]dancing like we used to do
[D#m/A#]Making [F/A]believe is [G#]just another way of [Gdim]dreaming[F#]
So 'till my [G#7]dreams come [C#]true[C#7]
I'll [D#m/A#]whisper [F/A]goodnight
Turn [G#]out the light and kiss my [Gdim]pillow
[F#]Making [G#7]believe it's [C#]you

Ella Fitzgerald

I'm [F]making believe that you're in my [D7]arms
Though [Gm]I know you're so far away
[C7]Making believe, I'm [Dm]talking to you
[G]Wish, you could hear what I [C]say[C7]
And [F]here in the gloom of my lonely [F#dim7]room
We're [Gm]dancing like we used to do
[Gm]Making believe is [Fmaj7]just another [Am]way of [G#dim]dreaming[Gm]
So 'til' my [C]dreams come [F]true[F7]
I'll [Gm]whisper goodnight
Turn [Fmaj7]out the light and [Am]kiss my [G#dim]pillow
[Gm]Making [C]believe it's [F]you

I'll [Gm]whisper goodnight
Turn [Fmaj7]out the light and kiss my [Am]pillow
[Gm]Making believe [C7]it's [F]you
