[Intro]

[Verse 1]
A
I will be your shoulder to cry on
F#m
I will make you laugh if you need
E
I will play the part if you say so
D
Yeah
I'll be anybody but me
[Pre-Chorus]
A E
To tell you the truth
I'm a mess
I'm a fool
D E
You don't know that
F#m
And you never will
E D
In my mind
it's instilled not to show that
[Chorus]
A
I spend almost all of my time
A/E
Feeling like I'm falling even further behind
F#m D
And I know I'm so good at seeming
A/E Asus2/E
Like I'm not on the edge of a knife
D F#m
I'm the pretender
what can I tell ya?
Asus2/E
Designed to deceive
D A
So tell me who you want me to be
[Verse 2]
A
I can wear a million faces
F#m
Cause I don't like the one underneath
E
Always found it easy to fake it
D
Yeah
I'll be anybody but me
[Pre-Chorus]
A E
To tell you the truth
I'm the fraud in the room
D E
And I know that
F#m
But you never will
E D
In my mind
it's instilled not to show that
[Chorus]
A
I spend almost all of my time
A/E
Feeling like I'm falling even further behind
F#m D
And I know I'm so good at seeming
A/E Asus2/E
Like I'm not on the edge of a knife
A
I feel like everything I do is a lie
A/E
And all the words just further pull the wool over eyes
F#m D
I know I'm no good at being
A/E Asus2/E
Who I am away from the light
D F#m
I'm the pretender
what can I tell ya?
Asus2/E
Designed to deceive
D A
So tell me who you want me to be
[Bridge]
E
And I'll be
D F#m
Be my best impression of what you expect from me
E D
But what you don't see is
[Chorus]
A
I spend almost all of my time
A/E
Feeling like I'm falling even further behind
F#m D
And I know I'm so good at seeming
A/E Asus2/E
Like I'm not on the edge of a knife
A
I feel like everything I do is a lie
A/E
And all the words just further pull the wool over eyes
F#m D
I know I'm no good at being
A/E Asus2/E
Who I am away from the light
D F#m
I'm the pretender
what can I tell ya?
A/E Asus2/E
but hell is a mender

I'm the pretender
what can I tell ya?
Asus2/E
