Interlude: E Esus4 B A (x3) Verse III: E Esus4 E Esus4 All these pretenders pretending to be E Esus4 E Esus4 How do they recognise people they see? A B G#m Esus4 A B E Lives by num-bers, pass me by Verse IV: E Esus4 E Esus4 Centred around what they know isn't true E Esus4 E Esus4 But what is needed for distorted view A B G#m Esus4 A B E Try not to think now, you've been warned Interlude: E Esus4 B A (x3) Outro: F#m G#m A B I tried to fake it but I got found out F#m G#m A B Fakers who fake it are on their way out E Esus4 E It's just me Esus4 E Esus4 E But I'll let myself be Esus4 E Esus4 E And the others go free Esus4 F#m But I know who will win Esus4 E I'm on the outside
