 THE GREAT PRETENDER

 

The Platters

 

 

[C] Oh yes, I'm the [Dm] great [G7] pre-[C]-tender

[C7] Pre-[F]-tending that I'm doing [C] well

[C7] My [F] need is [G7] such, I pre-[C]-tend too [F] much

I'm [C] lonely, but [Dm] no-[G7]-one can [C] tell [F][C][G7]

 

Oh [C] yes, I'm the [Dm] great [G7] pre-[C]-tender

[C7] A-[F]-drift in a world of my [C] own

[C7] I [F] play the [G7] game, but to [C] my real [F] shame

You've [C] left me to [Dm] dream [G7] all a-[C]-lone

 

[C7] Too [F] real is this feeling of [C] make believe

[C7] Too [F] real when I feel what my [C] heart can't con-[G7]-ceal

 

Oh [C] yes, I'm the [Dm] great [G7] pre-[C]-tender

[C7] Just [F] laughing and gay like a [C] clown

[C7] I [F] seem to [G7] be what I'm [C] not, you [F] see

I'm [C] wearing my [Dm] heart like a [E] crown

[G7] Pre-[C]-tending that [Dm] you're [G7] still a-[C]-round

 

[D7][Dm][G7] Oh [C] yes, I'm the [Dm] great [G7] pre-[C]-tender

[C7] Just [F] laughing and gay like a [C] clown

[C7] I [F] seem to [G7] be what I'm [C] not, you [F] see

I'm [C] wearing my [Dm] heart like a [E] crown

[G7] Pre-[C]-tending that [Dm] you're [G7] still a-[C]-round
