Pretend Chords & Lyrics - Mark Erelli

[INTRO]
[G7] [E7] [F] [Am] [Dm] [C] [G]

[VERSE 1]
If my [C]smile ever [Bb]fails to make you [A7]swoon
If my [Dm]kiss doesn't [Am]send you to the [G]moon
If my [E7]arms hold no charms
There's [F]no need for a[B7]larm
Don't re[Am]veal how you [Dm]feel, just pre[C]tend [G]

[VERSE 2]
If your [C]heart starts to [Bb]long for other [A7]men
If your [Dm]eye tends to [Am]wander now and [G]then
I know it [E7]seems the grass is green
But that's j[F]ust the stuff of [B7]dreams
Don't be [Am]fooled, don't be [Dm]cruel, just pre[C]tend [G]

[VERSE 3]
Just pre[F]tend I'm still the one you [C]need, dear
I don't [G7]care if it's only make be[C]lieve, dear
Don't discard me like [E7]I'm the latest [Am]trend [D7]
Go through the [C]motions of de[Dm]votion and pre[C]tend

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[G] [C] [Bb] [A7] [Dm] [Am] [G] [E7] [F] [B7] [Am] [Dm] [C] [G]

[VERSE 4]
Oh, [F]love is often tedious and [C]hard, dear
It can't [G7]always be a Hallmark [C]card, dear
Try to find the spark with[E7]in your heart a[Am]gain [D7]
Go through the [C]motions of de[Dm]votion and pre[A7]tend
Well, I'd [F]rather that you fake it
If you [C]left I couldn't [B7]take it
You got my [D7]heart, so don't you [G]break it, pre[C]tend
