[Intro] G  C  G  C

  G             C  D   G     G7
Oh yes, I'm the Great     pretender
C                G    G7
Pretending I'm doing well
  C       D     G           C   C#°
My need is such, I pretend too much
     G/D      C/D  D       G
I'm lonely but no one can tell

    G         C  D   G   G7
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
 C                    G    G7
Adrift in a world  of my own
C           D  G         C  C#°
I play the game, but to my real shame
    G/D           C/D     D   G
You've left me to dream all alone

     C                      G
Too real is this feeling of make believe
     C                    G         D
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

  G            C  C  G   G7
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
  C                     G    G7
Just lauging and gay like a clown
   C    D        G         C    C#
I seem to be, what I'm not, you see
     G       D          Bm     C C#
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
     G          C  D      G
Pretending that you're still around

     C                    G          D    D#
Too real when I fell what my heart can't conceal

Oh yes, I'm the great   pretender
  C#                    G#    G#7
Just lauging and gay like a clown
   C#  D#         G#         C#     C#
I seem to be, what I'm not, you see
     G#      D#            C°  C#
