          Cm                 G
I give to you, you take from me

We live in perfect harmony
    Ab               Bb             Cm   G
But I know you can't give me what I need
            Cm             G
With subtle care and rosey hues
           Eb                 F
We duke it out, we change our views
   Ab               Bb      Cm
We hold so dear our unanimity
G

Oh

🎸 Verse 2:

          Cm                G
We try to find our peace of mind
          Eb             F
Just a vestige we left behind
    Ab              Bb           Cm  G
But ignorance takes far less energy
           Cm                   G
And if you please
I'll look to you
          Eb            F
Because I need somebody who
   Ab              Bb          Cm
Forgives me for my harsh reality
G
Oh but

🎸 Bridge:

Cm             Bb
You standing there
Eb                   Bb
Playing with your hair
Ab              Eb
Trying to ignore
    Bb                  G
But peeking in the mirror
Cm             Bb
Re-living the scenes
     Eb               Bb
From books and magazines
Ab              Eb
Craving the life
    Bb                 G
You live in your dreams
Cm                  Bb
And I'm standing here
Eb                     Bb
Thinking that it's queer
    Ab                Eb   Bb   G
But fearing that I am the same
    Cm                Bb
You ask me how I feel
     Eb             Bb
It's so damn surreal
  Ab                      Eb Bb              G
I think it's finally time we ended this game

We are just pretenders
Cm                Bb  Ab Bb Ab Bb
We are just pretenders
Cm                Bb    Ab   Bb          Ab  G
We are just pretenders, lost in this charade
Cm                Bb    Ab     Bb      Ab Bb
We are just pretenders, characters on stage
Cm                Bb    Ab     Bb       Ab G
We are just pretenders, trying to break free
Cm                Bb    Ab     Bb    F   Bb
We are just pretenders, hiding so no one sees
