The Pretender

[Intro] A

[Primeira Parte]

A
I will be your shoulder to cry on
F#m
I will make you laugh if you need
E
I will play the part if you say so
      D
Yeah, I'll be anybody but me

[Pré-Refrão]

A                             E
To tell you the truth, I'm a mess, I'm a fool
           D        E
You don't know that
    F#m
And you never will
       E                           D
In my mind, it's instilled not to show that

[Refrão]

A
I spend almost all of my time
                 A/E
Feeling like I'm falling even further behind
      F#m      D
And I know I'm so good at seeming
A/E                             A2/E
Like I'm not on the edge of a knife
           D                  F#m
I'm the pretender, what can I tell ya?
            A2/E
Designed to deceive
   D                              A
So tell me who you want me to be

[Segunda Parte]

A
I can wear a million faces
       F#m
'Cause I don't like the one underneath
E
Always found it easy to fake it
      D
Yeah, I'll be anybody but me

[Pré-Refrão]

   A                             E
To tell you the truth, I'm the fraud in the room
       D        E
And I know that
    F#m
But you never will
       E                           D
In my mind, it's instilled not to show that

[Refrão]

A
I spend almost all of my time
                 A/E
Feeling like I'm falling even further behind
      F#m      D
And I know I'm so good at seeming
A/E                             A2/E
Like I'm not on the edge of a knife
            A
I feel like everything I do is a lie
                       A/E
And all the words just further pull the wool over my eyes
  F#m      D
I know I'm no good at being
A/E                     A2/E
Who I am away from the light
           D                  F#m
I'm the pretender, what can I tell ya?
            A2/E
Designed to deceive
   D                           A
So tell me who you want me to be

[Ponte]

          E
And I'll be
       D                                       F#m
Be my best impression of what you expect from me
          E         D
But what you don't see is

[Refrão]

A
I spend almost all of my time
                 A/E
Feeling like I'm falling even further behind
      F#m      D
And I know I'm so good at seeming
A/E                             A2/E
Like I'm not on the edge of a knife
            A
I feel like everything I do is a lie
                       A/E
And all the words just further pull the wool over my eyes
  F#m      D

A/E                     A2/E
Who I am away from the light
           D                  F#m
I'm the pretender, what can I tell ya?
             A/E                    A2/E
And I'm an imposter, my head is a mender
           D                  F#m
I'm the pretender, what can I tell ya?
            A2/E
