Lets Pretend

C                       Am                             Bb
In the stillness of the night my eyes are closed.
              G
My mouth is wide.
C                 Am
I could see her face.
              Bb                   G
Her beautiful hair I could recognize.

F               C
She looks at me cold.
                   Am               Bb     G
She probably don't know who I am.

C           Am               Bb
Mommy it is me, it's Keith.
                G               F
You had me back when...

                        C                 Am                 Bb         G
But sometimes I like to pretend, that she knows me, that she holds me.
                    C                 Am                 Bb             G
Sometimes I like to pretend, that she knows me, that she holds me.
          F                                    C
I guess I can't, 'cause she doesn't know who I am.


My mind it's dreaming, God it's so misleading.

Do you think it's 'cause I've grown old.
Is it true that what I was told?
You cried to leave me?

You know I know it's not your fault.
You had a husband now you're selfish and cold.
Believe me I know.

G                                   E
And now I hear you used to treat me cold.
         F
You disappeared and left me all alone.
G                                   E
I'm sure you didn't know right from wrong.
                        F                       F
'cause both of you were always getting stoned.

But sometimes I like to pretend.
But sometimes I like to pretend, that she knows me
Sometimes I like to pretend, that she holds me.
