Pretender

Intro: Am  F  G

            Am                  
He's a pre-tender, he knows just 
           G
what to say
            Am                     
He's a pre-tender, yeah you meet 
          G
him every day
            Am                   
He's a pre-tender, that fish that 
        G
got a-way
            Am                     
He's a pre-tender, why'd I fall in 
  G
love

Am                            F  
       It was so strange the way 
             G
he held my hand
Am                         F     
       I wanted more than just a 
              G
one night stand
Am                      F        
       He had a way of making me 
      G
believe
Am                           F   
      That he was mine and that 
            G
he'd never leave
Continues after the ad
Am                          F    
       I know that I should take 
                 G
my friend's ad-vice
Am                     F          
'Cause if it happens once, you 
G               Am
know it happens twice
F                             G  
If there's a chance then I know 
             Am
I've got to try
F                                 
I'll make him dance with me, I'll 
  G               Am
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           
Don't say that I am blind, I know 
                 F
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
