[Verse 1]
       G            D       Em        C
I just can't believe it was all a lie,
       G          D       C
no man in the moon just a big light in the sky.
       G         D           Em           C
I hear Disneyland might lose Mickey Mouse,
        Am
in some giant hostile corporate shake-up,
C                               D               G D C
tell me it's a nightmare, please say it isn't so.
 
[Verse 2]
          G              D          Em                C
I found a book of matches from some place we've never been.
             G                D    C
How come you hang the phone up the minute I walk in.
             G             D           Em         C
Last night I had this dream that I was losing you,
  Am
I woke up in a cold sweat shaking,
C                            D
rescue me my heart is breaking.
 
[Chorus]
             G                     Bm
Say it isn't so, (tell me it's not true) 
             Em                C
Say it isn't so, (I believe in you) 
               Am                    C
Tell me it's a lie, (I don't need no proof) 
                                            Cm
Say everything's alright, (couldn't be, not you) 
             G  D C
Say it isn't so.
 
[Verse 3]
     G            D            Em              C
Superman don't fly they did it all with strings.
      G           D     C
Elvis Presley died they deep fried the king,
          Am
Like some tacky cheesy bathing beauty,
C                                    D
dancing on the beach in a bad b-movie.
 
[Chorus]
             G                     Bm

Say it isn't so, (don't give up on you) 
                   Am                    C
Get me through the night, (we'll make it through) 
                                           Cm
Make everything alright, (couldn't be, not you) 
             Em
Say it isn't so.
