Mark Erelli - Pretend
[Intro]
G7 E7 F Am Dm C G
[Verse 1]
C Bb A7
If my smile ever fails to make you swoon
Dm Am G
If my kiss doesn't send you to the moon
E7
If my arms hold no charms
F B7
There's no need for alarm
Am Dm C G
Don't reveal how you feel, just pretend
[Verse 2]
C Bb A7
If your heart starts to long for other men
Dm Am G
If your eye tends to wander now and then
E7
I know it seems the grass is green
F B7
But that's just the stuff of dreams
Am Dm C G
Don't be fooled, don't be cruel, just pretend
[Verse 3]
F C
Just pretend I'm still the one you need, dear
G7 C
I don't care if it's only make believe, dear
E7 Am D7
Don't discard me like I'm the latest trend
C Dm C
Go through the motions of devotion and pretend
[Instrumental]
G C Bb A7 Dm Am G E7 F B7 Am Dm C G
[Verse 4]
F C
Oh, love is often tedious and hard, dear
G7 C
It can't always be a Hallmark card, dear
E7 Am D7
Try to find the spark within your heart again
C Dm A7
Go through the motions of devotion and pretend
F
Well, I'd rather that you fake it
C B7
If you left I couldn't take it
D7 G C
You got my heart, so don't you break it, pretend
