[D]
[E] [D] [G] Oh yes, [Am] I'm the [D] great [G] pretender
[C] Pretending I'm doing [G] well
[C] My need [D] is such a [G]
[C] tumor
[Db] [G] I'm lonely [D] but no [G] one can tell
[D]
[G] Oh yes, [Am] I'm [D] the great
[G] pretender
[C]
Drifting away [G] off my own
[C] play, [D] the game
But [G] to my [C] real [G] shame
You've left me [D] to dream [G] all alone
[C] Real is this feeling [G] of make-believe
[C] Too real [Am] when I feel [G] what my heart [D] can't [Ab] conceal
[D] Oh [G] yes, [A] I'm [D] the great [G]
pretender
[C] Just laughing and gay [G] like a clown
[C] I seem [D] to be what [G] I'm not
You [C] see, [Db]
[G] I'm wearing [D] my heart [B] like a crown
[C] [Db] [G] Pretending [D] that you're [G] still around
[C] [G]
[C] Too real when [Am] I feel [G] what my [D] heart can't [Bb] [Ab] [Eb] conceal
Oh [Ab] yes, I'm [Bbm] [Eb] [Ab] the great pretender
[Db] Just laughing and gay [Ab] like a clown
I [Db] seem [Eb] to be what [Ab] I'm not
You [Db] see, [Dm]
[Ab] I'm wearing [Eb] my heart [Ab] like [C] a crown
[Db] [Ab] Pretending that [Eb] you're
Pretending that you're
Still around
