[Intro: G D B C G D G C G]

G D G G7

Oh yes, I’m the great pretender

C G G7

Pretending that I’m doing well

C D G C

My need is such I pretend too much

G D G C G

I’m lonely but no one can tell

Oh yes, I’m the great pretender

Adrift in a world of my own

I play the game but to my real shame

G D G G7

You left me to dream all alone

C G

Too real is this feeling of make-believe

C G D7

Too real when I feel when my heart can’t conceive

Oh, yes, I’m the great pretender

Just laughing and gay like a clown

I seem to be what I’m not you’ll see

G D B C

I’m wearing my heart like a crown

G D G

Pretending that you’re still around

[Instrumental]

Too real is this feeling of make believe

Too real when I feel when my heart can’t conceive

Oh, yes, I’m the great pretender

Just laughing and gay like a clown

I seem to be what I’m not you’ll see

G D B C

I’m wearing my heart like a crown

G D B C G D G

Pretending that you’re still around
