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