Pretending chords by Orla Gartland

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

verse 1:
G                     Bm
I saw the face in the window
C                        G
Lighting up a cigarette
                       Bm
Smokey brown eyeshadow
                   C                     G
I learnt it from a woman on the internet

                          Bm
How the hell have you been, babe?
C                        G
Put your coat on the bed
Let me get you a cup
Bm                  C
Sip it up up, right to your head

pre-chorus:
C                   D
All the people over there
                          Em
They don't seem to have a care
                     G
I'm so fucking self aware, it's exhausting
C                   D
And no matter how I try
                  Em
I repeat it every night, every night, every night, every night


chorus:
    G
I'm done pretending, pretending
Am
Done pretending
Em                                     C
All of my heroes are way more sad than me
              G
Am I the only one pretending, pretending
Am             Em
One pretending?
                             C                               G
Oh, who are you so afraid to be, to be? to be? to be? to be


verse 2:
                        Bm
I lied about liking your dress
  C                        G
I lied about sticking around
                         Bm                       C                      G
I lied about knowing the band that you talked and talked all night about

                         Bm
So take it up with the jury
       C                           G
'Cause I don't really care anymore
                                 Bm                  C
And if you listen real close you might just hear the penny drop on the floor


pre-chorus:
C                   D
All the people over there
                          Em
They don't seem to have a care
                     G
I'm so fucking self aware, it's exhausting
C                   D
And no matter how I try
                  Em
I repeat it every night, every night, every night, every night


chorus:
    G
I'm done pretending, pretending
Am
Done pretending
Em                                     C
All of my heroes are way more sad than me
              G
Am I the only one pretending, pretending
Am             Em
One pretending?
                             C
Oh, who are you so afraid to be, to be? to be? to be? to be

outro:
               D                            C
(Am I the only one pretending, pretending, one pretending?)
         D   C
Leave me alone
(Am I the only one pretending, pretending, one pretending?)
           D  C
I wanna go home
(Am I the only one pretending, pretending, one pretending?)
         D   C
Leave me alone
(Am I the only one pretending, pretending, one pretending?)
         N.C.
I wanna go—
(Am I the only one pretending, pretending, one pretending, pretending?)
