Intro: C

[Verse]
                 C
There's always a reason
   G                Am
To stay inside your head
C                          G
  But you'll never make it out
               C
So you found a reason (give me a reason)
   G              Am
To make-believe instead
C                     G
  Now you're somebody else


[Pre-Chorus]
              F         C     G      Am
But you don't have to hide your scars
         F     C        G
Not from me tonight, at all


[Chorus]
             F       C
(Show me the real you)
   G               Am
Misunderstood, can feel so good
F            C
 You don't have to hide yourself
   G
Pretender, pretender
             F       C
(Show me the real you)
   G               Am
Surrender, yeah, I wish you would
F                  C
 You don't have to hide yourself
   G
Pretender, pretend


[Verse]
                C
That you are an ocean (you are an ocean)
G              Am
Strong but delicate (strong but delicate)
C                             G
  It doesn't matter where you run
                 C
For the next two minutes
   G                     Am
Pretend that you are infinite (you are infinite)
C                       G
  And the hiding out is done


[Pre-Chorus]
              F         C     G      Am
But you don't have to hide your scars
         F     C        G
Not from me tonight, at all


[Chorus]
             F       C
(Show me the real you)
   G               Am
Misunderstood, can feel so good
F            C
 You don't have to hide yourself
   G
Pretender, pretender
             F       C
(Show me the real you)
   G               Am
Surrender, yeah, I wish you would
F                  C
 You don't have to hide yourself
   G
Pretender, pretend


[Bridge]
                     F         C
We all play roles as people, believe me
      G           Am
We're lying to ourselves
    F                 C               G
You don't belong, you don't belong at all (yeah, yeah)
                         F       C
You gotta be brave to be here, believe me
  G                 Am
I hope you find yourself
    F                 C       G
You don't belong, you don't belong


[Chorus]
             F       C
(Show me the real you)
   G               Am
Misunderstood, can feel so good
F            C
 You don't have to hide yourself
   G
Pretender, pretender
             F       C
(Show me the real you)
   G               Am
Surrender, yeah, I wish you would
F                  C
 You don't have to hide yourself
   G
Pretender, pretend
