Oh, yes, I'm the great pretender,    pretendin' I'm doin' well.    

   C       D          G       C     C#dim 
My need is such, I pretend so much.

I play the game, but to my real shame,       

       G/D        D          G     G7 
you've left me to dream all alone.

    C                       G             G7     C           Am7  
Too real is this feeling of make believe.    Too real when I feel

just laughin' and guy like a clown.    I seem to be 

         G        C    C#dim     G/D        D            B      C 
what I'm not, you see.       I'm wearin' my heart like a crown,   

   C#dim G/D           D      G      G7 
pretendin' that you're still around.
