[F#] [A] [F#]
[A]
Can we pretend that from now on [Dm] there is no [A]
yesterday?
Paint a portrait of tomorrow [D] with no colors [A] from today.
[Dm] There's a [Bm] [Dm] light that shines in your [A] face sometimes
That [F#] [Dm] takes my feelings and wraps them [A] around your knees
But there's [B] a shadow [Am]
[Dm] hiding in your [A] heart sometimes
That makes my [Dm] feelings turn back in [A] on me
Can we pretend the pain is gone [Dm] and go our [A] merry way?
Paint a portrait of tomorrow with [Dm] the [A] colors bright and gay
[Dm] There's a [G]
light [Dm] that shines in your [A] face sometimes
[Dm] That takes my feelings and wraps them [A] around your knees
[F#] [A] But there's a [Em]
shadow [Dm] hiding in your [A] heart sometimes
[Dm] That makes my feelings turn back in [A] on me
Can we pretend?
[F#m] [A] Can we pretend?
