Oh-oh yes I'm the great pretender
A B7 E E7
Pretending that I'm doing well
A B7 E A
My need is such I pretend too much
E B7 E
I'm lonely but no one can tell
E A E E7
Oh-oh yes I'm the great pretender
A B7 E E7
Adrift in a world of my own
A B7 E A
I've played the game but to my real shame
E B7 E E7
You've left me to grieve all alone
A B7 E E7
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
A B7 E B7
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
E A E E7
Yes I'm the great pretender
A B7 E E7
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
A B7 E A
I seem to be what I'm not you see
E B7 E7
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
E B7 E E7
Pretending that you're still around
A B7 E E7
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
A B7 E B7
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
E A E E7
Yes I'm the great pretender
A B7 E E7
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
A B7 E A
I seem to be what I'm not you see
E B7 E7
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
E B7 E A E
Pretending that you're still around still around
