Intro: [G] [C] [G] [C]

Oh ye[G]s, I'm the Great [C] [D] Pret[G]ender, [G7]
[C]Pretending I'm doing well.[G] [G7]
[C] [D] [G] [C] [C] #
My need is such, I pretend too much,
I'm lone[G]ly but no[C] on[D]e can tell [G]
Oh yes, [G]I'm the grea[C]t pr[D]eten[G]der,[G7]
Ad[C]rift in a world of my own [G] [G7]
[C] [D] [G] [C] [C] #
I play the game, but to my real shame
You've l[G]eft me to dream [C]all alon[D]e. [G]
Too real[C] is this feeling of make believe[G] ,
Too real[C] when I feel what my heart can't[G] conceal [D]

Oh y[G]es, I'm the great [C]pre[C]ten[G]der [G7]
Just[C] lauging and gay like a clown [G] [G7]
[C] [D] [G] [C] [C] #
I seem to be, what I'm not, you see,
[G] [D] [Bmin] [C] [C] #
I'm wearing my heart like a crown,
Pretendi[G]ng that you're s[C]til[D]l aroun[G]d

[C] [G] [D] [D] #
Too real when I fell what my heart can't conceal
(everything moves up 1/2 step)
