                          Pretense - Knuckle Puck
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Tuning: Half-Step Down

intro: Bb-Gm-F-D#

e|----4---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----4---------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-6--4--3--9---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-8--6--4--9---------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-9--6--4--7---------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-7--4--0------------------------------------------------------------------|

Repeat the intro with proper strumming until you hear "But neither will ever happen" on the D# chord

You play this for the chorus then you repeat the intro/verse for verse 2
e|--4-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--4-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--4--3--9--9----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--6--4--9--9----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--6--4--7--7----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--4--0----------------------------------------------------------------------|


When he gets to the spoken word ("consider this the repercussion...") part, play this order
(the strumming is very weird here and chords change ALOT so try to listen carefully)
e|--4--------------4--------------4--------------4-------------------------------|
B|--4--------------4--------------4--------------4-------------------------------|
G|--4--3--9--3-----4--3--9--9-----4--6--9--3-----4--3--9--3----------------------|
D|--6--4--9--4-----6--4--9--9-----6--8--9--4-----6--4--9--4----------------------|
A|--6--4--7--4-----6--4--7--7-----6--9--7--4-----6--4--7--4----------------------|
E|--4--0-----0-----4--0-----------4--7-----0-----4--0-----0----------------------|


After he screams "Make me the bad guy", the tone goes clean for the first chord (Gm) only then
distortion again other than that its a regular chorus


After the second chorus you play the bridge which is a little weird

First you play these two chords and hold them (use a lot of verb on clean tone)
e|--4-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--4-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--4--3----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--6--4----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--6--4----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--4--0----------------------------------------------------------------------|

Then distortion here
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--6------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--8------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--9------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--7------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Then clean again here during the drum fills
e|--4-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--4-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--4--3----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--6--4----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--6--4----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--4--0----------------------------------------------------------------------|


Then distortion until the clean chorus
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--6------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--8------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--9------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--7------------------------------------------------------------------------|

After that you play the chorus clean once and then distorted once before the outro which
is a continuation of the chorus so it's very easy to figure out.
