Verse 1:
    G             Am  D     G      G7
Oh yes, I'm the great   pretender,
    C                 G
Pretending I'm doing well.
    C       D          G        C    A7/C#
My need is such, I pretend too much,
     G/D        D          G    C/G G
I'm lonely but no one can tell.

Adrift in a world of my own.

I played the game, but to my real shame
        G/D         D         G
You've left me to dream all alone.

     C                       G
Too real is this feeling of make-believe,
     C                         G/D
Too real when I feel what my heart
          D   G/D | D7     Gm/5-/D
can't conceal.         Oh...

Verse 3:
    G             Am  D     G      G7
Oh yes, I'm the great   pretender,
 C                        G
Just lauging and gay like a clown.
  C          D            G        C   A7/C#
I   seem to be, what I'm not, you see,
     G/D         D            B    C A7
I'm wearing my heart like a crown,
    G/D          D           G
Pretending that you're still   around.

          D
can't conceal.
