G G
People talking, think I'm all right
G
Think I'm doing fine
C G C
Goin' through the motions of my life
G G
Go to work now every mornin'
G
Yea I play the part
C Am
And hide away the contents of my solemn heart
[Chorus]
Em
But when the sun goes down
C
And the moon is high
D C G C/B D
I can't control the flood of all these tears inside
Em
And if they only knew
C
They'd be so surprised
D C G
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
G G C G
G G G
Keep 'em guessin', keep 'em laughin', build that wall up high
C G C
As long as they don't see the other side

You've really done it
G G
Done a number, a number on my soul
C Am
But I'll be damned if I ever let you know
[Chorus]

But when the sun goes down
C
And the moon is high

There's no way to hide the truth from me, myself, and I

Like some fools I see

Words of wisdom spoken by the light of day
[Chorus]
Em
But when the sum goes down
C
And the moon is high

Your memory pulls me under like a strong riptide

I'm still in love with you

It's all smoke and lights
D C G
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise

I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
