The Great Pretender

E G#m
E G#m F# B

[Verse 1]

E       G#m
And I remember
E            G#m
the great pretender
E          G#m             F#            B
as she was dressed in that wicked little gown
E            G#m
As she would enter
E                     G#m                F#          B
with the smell of new rain and all those tiny little sounds

E G#m
E G#m F# B

[Verse 2]

E       G#m
And I remember
E            G#m
the great pretender
E            G#m       F#              B
as she would enter and leave without a trace
E         G#m
Without a member,
E       G#m       F#          B
holy December and empty outta space

[Chorus]

B            E                 F#                       G#m
I promised myself again I will not give my heart to the sea
B               E                 F#                      E    B
I won't lose my soul again I will keep it in the happiest moun-tain

E G#m F# B

[Verse 3]

E           G#m
From this hotel room
E            G#m
the night is silent,
E              G#m            F#                   B
but my beat is thunder and my thoughts are getting weak
E       G#m
Now I remember
E            G#m
the great pretender
E        G#m           F#           B
Yes, I remember but am trying to forget

[Chorus]

B            E                 F#                       G#m
I promised myself again I will not give my heart to the sea
B               E                 F#                      E    B
I won't lose my soul again I will keep it in the happiest moun-tain
       F#                      E    B
I will keep it in the happiest moun-tain
