Lyrics

[Intro]
| Abm | Dbm | Gb | B   |
| E   | Bb  | Eb | Abm |

[Verse 1]
Dbm            Gb             B       E
   Easy to come  for some it's easy go
Bbm                 Eb            Abm Gb
   But it's never easy on your own
B E B Dbm                 Gb
         Times will change  for those who,
B              E
 who never know
Bbm                  Eb                Abm Gb B E
   Till it's too late  to get back home

[Chorus]
Gb            E                    B    Badd11
  Great pretender, there will come a day
B             Gb          E                    Abm Gb
 When the last  song fades and you've grown old
B E Gb            E
      Great pretender,
           B      Badd11
you cannot replace
B            Gb        E Gb   E  Eb E
 All the love  you lost  long ago
Eb Dbm          Eb       Dbm    B         Bb
   Once you take  your final bow you're on  your own

[Intrelude]
           | Abm | Dbm |
| Gb | B   | E   | Bb  |
| Eb | Abm |

[Verse 2]
Dbm              Gb              B              E
   Lights for now  they are still shining bright
Bbm                    Eb                  Abm Gb
   But you can't escape  this truth in time
B E B
Dbm                 Gb       B             E
   The mask you wear  is only your disguise
Bbm                 Eb                Abm Gb B E
   To hide the tears  that fall inside

[Chorus]
Gb            E                    B    Badd11
  Great pretender, there will come a day
B             Gb          E                    Abm Gb
 When the last  song fades and you've grown old
B E Gb            E
      Great pretender,
           B      Badd11
you cannot replace
B            Gb        E Gb   E  Eb E
 All the love  you lost  long ago
Eb Dbm          Eb       Dbm    B         Gb    Abm   E
   Once you take  your final bow you're on  your   own Do
         Gb          B            E B
you remember when you promised her

[Bridge]
Dbm                 Gb                   B
   That you would be  there till the end?
E               Gb
 A distant dream  led to the,
B                   E B
 to the deepest hurt
Dbm
   And though you've tried,
Gb                Ab
  you can't forget
