Intro: Am F G
Am G
He's a pre-tender, he knows just what to say
Am G
He's a pre-tender, yeah you meet him every day
Am G
He's a pre-tender, that fish that got a-way
Am G
He's a pre-tender, why'd I fall in love
Am F G
It was so strange the way he held my hand
Am F G
I wanted more than just a one night stand
Am F G
He had a way of making me believe
Am F G
That he was mine and that he'd never leave
Am F G
I know that I should take my friend's ad-vice
Am F G Am
'Cause if it happens once, you know it happens twice
F G Am
If there's a chance then I know I've got to try
F G Am
I'll make him dance with me, I'll make him tell me why
{Intermediate:}
G F
I'm not afraid to fall a hundred times
G F
And I'll believe in all your silly lies
G F
I'd like to think that I could change your mind
G Am F
Don't say that I am blind, I know all about your kind
He's a pretender, yeah you meet him every day
He's a pretender, that fish that got away
He's a pretender, why'd I fall in love
I like the way he moved across the floor
And when he danced with me I knew he wanted more
But in the dark things happened much too fast
I should've stopped him then, I knew it wouldn't last
{Chorus}
{intermediate}
He's a pretender, yeah you meet him every day
He's a pretender, that fish that got away
He's a pretender, why'd I fall in love
