The Pretend Song

G  Gmaj7  C  D


[Verse 1]
       G         D             Am               D
I can try to pretend that the world don't turn.
       G            D           Am    D
Or pretend that the sky's never blue.
       G            D            Am                D
Or pretend that the stars in the night don't burn.
       G            D            Am
Or pretend that I'm fine without you.


[Chorus]
         D              Am          D          Am         D                G     Em
I can pretend you know. I could pretend a lot. I could pretend some things too.
Am        D             Am          D          Am          D          G   Gmaj7  C  D  
I can pretend you know. I could pretend a lot. I could pretend and I do.               
   G  Gmaj7  C  D
 I do.


[Verse 2]
         G         D            Am            D
I could try to pretend that it all made sense.
       G           D          Am  D
As we did what we both had to do.
         G         D             Am             D
I could try to pretend that it's all past tense.
         G         D          Am
And I'm not gonna dream about you.


[Chorus]

     D              Am          D          Am         D                G     Em
I can pretend you know. I could pretend a lot. I could pretend some things too.
Am        D             Am          D          Am          D          G
I can pretend you know. I could pretend a lot. I could pretend and I do.


[Bridge]
     D                       G
And you can pretend that the blame all lies with me.
    Am                      D
And I can pretend that I'm really feelin' free
                                 G
And you can pretend that I could never please you.
Am         A                D    D7
Actually,        that'd be true.


(Verse 3)
         G         D            Am           D
I could try to pretend that I'm alright now.
       G       D           Am     D
Waking up in a room with a view.
         G         D           Am            D
I could try to pretend that in hindsight now.
        G           D             Am
I see lots of good reasons we're through.


[Chorus]

           D              Am          D          Am         D                G     Em
I could pretend you know. I could pretend a lot. I could pretend some things too.
Am         D             Am          D          Am          D          G   Gmaj7  C  D 
I could pretend you know. I could pretend a lot. I could pretend and I do.             
    G  Gmaj7  C  D
   I do.
       G  Gmaj7  C  D         G  Gmaj7  C  D
And I do.               And I do.
