Intro :
D Ddim7  D7
G              D7       G         G9
Oh yes I'm the great pretender
    C                      G      G9
Pretending that I'm doing well
   C       D7         G        C
My need is such  I pretend too much
     G         D7         G       D7
I'm lonely but no one can tell
 
  G            Am7      G         G9
Oh yes I'm the great pretender
  C                      G        G9
A drift in a world of my own
  C        D7             G    C#dim7
I play the game but to my real shame
       G         D7         G     G9
You've let me to dream all alone
 
    C                              G
Too real is this feeling of make believe
    C           Am7
Too real when I feel 
       G7              D7
What my heart can't conceal
 
   G           D7      G           G9
Oh yes I'm the great pretender
       C                     G     G9
Just laughing and gay like a clown
  C       D7          G      C#dim7
I seem to be what I'm not you see
    G          D7             G    D9
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
 G7              D7          G
Pretending that you're still around
 
    C                        G
Too real is this feeling of make believe
    C           Am7
Too real when I feel 
        G7            D7
What my heart can't conceal
 
    G          D7          G
Oh yes I'm the great pretender
         C                   G     G9
Just laughing and gay like a clown
  C       D7          G      C#dim7
I seem to be what I'm not you see
    G          D7           E7
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
    G7           D7             G
Pretending that you're still around
