      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     C  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        C    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           Bmin   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
