Pretending Chords & Lyrics - Alec Benjamin

[VERSE 1]
In this masquer[F]ade, she can't feel the p[C]ain
Cover up her he[Am]art, with a little pai[G]nt
While he's pulling out a [F]flask, to hide it all [C]away
There's nothing left to s[G]ay
[Am]He knows that they're drowning
[F]She hopes that th[C]ere's still something l[Am]eft
Let go now cause he's l[G]eaving

[CHORUS]
But she'd be fine prete[F]nding
Things were alri[C]ght, even while its e[Am]nding keep it i[G]nside
She can feel them [F]bending
All their love is [C]pending so what is she [Am]defending?
[G]Even when she [F]says she'll open her [C]eyes
All her words are [Am]empty when she [G]denies
But she can feel them [F]bending
All their love is [C]pending so what is she [Am]defending?
[G]But she'd be fine prete [F]eh eh [C]eh eh [Am]eh eh ([G]she'd be fine)

[VERSE 2]
Step into the [F]light, to look him in the [C]eye
Feeling so [Am]exposed, she tries to stay [G]composed
But every little [F]fight, and every little [C]lie is impos[Am]sible to hid[G]e

[BRIDGE]
[F]He knows that there're [C]drowning
[Am]She hopes that t[G]here's still something l[F]eft
Let go [C]now cause he's [Am]leaving
But she'd be fine [F]pretending things were [C]alright
Even while its [Am]ending keep it [G]inside
She can feel them b[F]ending
All their love is [C]pending so what is she [Am]defending?
[G]Even when she [F]says she'll open her [C]eyes, all her words are [Am]empty when she de[G]nies

[CHORUS]
But she can feel them [F]bending
All their love is [C]pending so what is she d[Am]efending?
[G]But she'd be fine prete [F]eh eh [G]eh eh [Am]eh (s[C]he'd be fine)
[F]I hate to watch her hurt, I [C]know it isn't right
[Am]But she can find the courage to l[G]eave it all behind
[F]I wish I had I the words to [C]help her realize
[Am]That there is just no way to[G] bring this back to life

[BRIDGE]
[F]He knows that, they're [C]drowning [Am]
But she'd be fine [F]pretending things were [C]alright
Even while its [Am]ending keep it in[G]side
She can feel them [F]bending
All their love is [C]pending, so what is she [Am]defending?
[G]Even when she [F]says she'll open her [C]eyes
All the words are [Am]empty when she [G]denies
But she can feel them [F]bending all their love is [C]pending so what is
She [Am]defending
[G]But she'd be fine prete [F]eh[C] e[Am]h e[G]h eh
She'd be f[F]ine
