[Verse 1]
G C D7 Eb9 D7
             Ohoh,
G           C        G     G7
yes I'm the great pretender
   C                      G   G7
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

[Verse 2]
      G           C        G     G7
Ohoh, yes I'm the great pretender
  C                     G  G7
Adrift in a world of my own
     C              D7       G       C
I've played the game  but to my real shame
       G          D7          G   G7
You've left me to grieve all alone

[Bridge]
    C                       G     G7
Too real is this feeling of makebelieve
    C                        G              D7
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

[Verse 3]
G            C        G     G7
Yes, I'm the great pretender
     C                       G    G7
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
  C       D7          G        C
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
    G          D7           B7
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
      G         D7            G    G7
Pretending that you're still around

[Bridge]
    C                       G     G7
Too real is this feeling of makebelieve
    C                        G              D7
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

[Verse 4]
G            C        G     G7
Yes, I'm the great pretender
     C                       G    G7
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
  C       D7          G        C
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
    G          D7           B7
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
      G               A
Pretending that you're still around
