[Am]
[Bm] [Am] [F#] [F]
[Am] Keep you in the [Bm] dark, [Am] you know [F#] they all [F]
pretend.
[Am] Keep you in the [Bm] dark, [Am] and so [F#] it all [F]
began.
Send in your skeletons, sing as their bones come marching in.
Again.
The need you buried deep, the secrets that you [A#] keep forever.
Ready, are you ready?
[C] I'm finished making sense, done pleading ignorance.
That whole defense.
Spinning infinity, [Dm] but the wheel is [C] spinning me.
[A#] It's never ending, [N] never ending.
Same old story.
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
[D] You're a pretender.
[F] What if I say I will never [N] surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're a pretender.
What if I say I will never surrender?
In time, I'm so untold.
I'm just another soul to sell.
Oh well.
The page is out of breath.
We are not permanent.
We're [F#] temporary.
[Em] Temporary.
Same [N] old story.
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another [F#] one of your plays?

What if I say I'm not just [F#] another one of your plays?
You're a [F] pretender.
What if I say I [A#] will never surrender?
[N]
I'm the voice inside your head [Em] you refuse to hear.
I'm the face that you have to face mirrored in your stare.
[Am]
I'm what's left.
I'm what's right.
[F] I'm the enemy.
I'm the hand that'll take you down, bring you to your knees.
So who [N] are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, [D#m] who are [Am] you?
If you will [Bm] [Am] [F#]

You're a [F] pretender.
What if I say I will never [E] surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
[A] What if I say I'm not just [F#] another one of your plays?
You're a [F] pretender.
What if I say I will never surrender?
[Am] What if I say I'm not like the others?
[B] What if I [Am] say I'm not just [F#] another one of your [G#] plays?
You're the [A#] pretender.
What if I [N] say I will never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the predator, what if I say I will never surrender?
[A] [N] So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who?
