G                 D7          G    G7
Oh! Yes, I'm the great pretender
   C                      G     G7
Pretending that I'm doing well
   C       D7         G          C     C#º
My need is such, I pretender too much
    G           D7         G       D7
I'm lonely, but no one can tell
     G           Am       G       G7
Oh! Yes, I'm the great pretender
  C                      G       G7
A drift in a world of my own
  C        D7           G       C      C#º
I play the game, but to my real shame
       G          D7         G      G7
You've left me to dream all alone
  C        D7           G       C       C#º
I play the game, but to my real shame
C#º    G          D7        G      G7
You've left me to dream all alone
    C                        G
Too real is  the  feeling of make believe
    C           Am           G           D7
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
    G            Am       G       G7
Oh! Yes, I'm the great pretender
     C                       G      G7
Just laughing and gay like a clown
   C       D7           G     G7
I  seem to be what I'm  not
    C   C#º   G           D7              B7
You see,      I'm wearing my heart like a crown
   C            D7           G        G7
Pretending that you're still around
    C                      G
Too real is the feeling of make me believe
    C           Am           G           D7
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
    G            D7       G         G7
Oh! Yes, I'm the great pretender
     C                       G      G7
Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooooh oooooh)
   C       D7          G
I  seem to be what I'm not
    C   C#º  G           D7              B7
You see,     I'm wearing my heart like a crown

Pretending that you're still around
