        Oh! Yes, I'm the great pretender,

    G7     C                       G
        Pretending that I'm doing well

    G7      C       D7        G           C
        My need is such, I pretend too much

             G          D7          G       D7
        I'm lonely, but no one can tell

             G            C       G

        Adrift in a world of my own

    G7     C        D7          G        C
        I play the game, but to my real shame

        You've left me to dream all alone

        Too real is  the  feeling of make believe

             C                        G             D7
        Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

        Just laughing and gay like a clown

    G7      C      D7           G
        I  seem to be what I'm  not,

        G7   C        G          D7            B7
        You see, I'm wearing my heart like a crown

            G            D7           G
        Pretending that you're still around

    G7       C                       G
        Too real is  the  feeling of make believe
