Judy Collins - Let's Pretend
CAPO: 1st Fret
[Verse 1]
C Dm C F G
The party was over, it was nearly a quarter to two
C Dm C F G
Hearing your voice was the last thing I thought I would do
Dm C F G Am
Seeing your face brought the pain back again just like new
Dm C F G C Dm C F G
Now I'm right back where I was, I am lost without you___
[Verse 2]
C Dm C F G
I stood in a daze as you put your hand gently in mine
C Dm C F G
Once again, lost in the look of your love, so divine
Dm C F G Am
I know you don't mean it, but tell me you love me again
Dm C F G C
I know we are over, but wrap me in lies that don't end
[Chorus]
Dm C F G
I'll close my eyes so you won't see the tears
Dm C F G
Let's make the best of those bittersweet years
Bb F C G C
Let's pretend we are lovers again__
Bb F G C G
Let's pretend our romance didn't end___
Dm C F G
I'll play my part, I won't ask you for more
Dm C F G
Won't pull you back when you walk out the door
Bb F
Just let me love you for one hour more
G C G C Dm C F G
Let's pretend__ we are lovers again____
[Verse 3]
C Dm C F G
I know that I will go home without you tonight
C Dm C F G
I know there's nothing that I could do now to make it right
Dm C F G Am
Still I could dream that you never had walked out my door
Dm C F G C
Still I could dream all my life if you kiss me once more
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C F G
I'll close my eyes so you won't see the tears
Dm C F G
Let's make the best of those bittersweet years
Bb F C G C
Let's pretend we are lovers again__
Bb F G C G
Let's pretend our romance didn't end___
Dm C F G
I'll play my part, I won't ask you for more
Dm C F G
Won't pull you back when you walk out the door
Bb F
Just let me love you for one hour more
G C G C Dm C
Let's pretend__ we are lovers again____
[Bridge]
Bb F C
Everyone's left for the night, the glasses are empty
Bb F
No one will see us, I know
Bb G
No one will know that I can't let you go
[Verse 4]
C Dm C F G
I've got to learn to let go and you must teach me how
C Dm C F G
I love your arms wrapped around me like this even now
Dm C F G
Maybe if you give me just one more kiss
Dm C F G
I'll learn it's something I really don't miss
[Chorus] (fade to end)
Dm C F G
I'll close my eyes so you won't see the tears
Dm C F G
Let's make the best of those bittersweet years
Bb F C G C
Let's pretend we are lovers again__
Bb F G C G
Let's pretend our romance didn't end___
Dm C F G
I'll slip away in the night without you
Dm C F G
While I'll have something to comfort me, too
Bb F G
Just for old times, kiss me once before the night ends
C Bb C Bb
Let's pretend__ we are lovers again__
C Bb C Bb
Let's pretend__ we are lovers again__
C Bb C Bb
Let's pretend__ we are lovers again__
C Bb C Bb
Let's pretend__ we are lovers again__
C Bb C Bb
Let's pretend__ we are lovers again__
