Pretense

[Intro]
| Bbsus2 | Gm | F6 | Ebmaj7sus2 |

[Verse 1]
Bbsus2                                  Gm
      I'll take it inward so no one sees
                                       F6
While you find slumber on tops of trees
                        Ebmaj7sus2
And after all of this I still     find it hard to breathe
Bbsus2                                    Gm
      I taught myself things you never did
                                     F6
You need a spine like I need new skin
                         Ebmaj7sus2
But neither will ever happen

[Chorus]
Gm         F6          Ebmaj7sus2
  How dare you guilt me          for not sticking around
      Gm       F6         Ebmaj7sus2
As if you ever did for me?
Gm                      F6                      Ebmaj7sus2
  I'll leave you in the dark with a broken flashlight
Gm                   F6                   Ebmaj7sus2
  You left me with a choice and a pretense

[Verse 2]
Bbsus2                              Gm
      I will not follow in your footsteps
                        F6
I'll find a face to call  my own
                Ebmaj7sus2                               Gm
Because the mask          you wear is all I've ever known
              F6     Bbsus2    Ebmaj7sus2
Consider this a repercussion of          the actions which
        F6                 Gm             F6        Bbsus2
you were  never properly punished for due to an overbearing
  Ebmaj7sus2           F6
demeanor brought on by your own self awareness
Gm                F6         Bbsus2           Ebmaj7sus2
  Your credibility  is a half      empty glass          of
          F6                         Gm                F6
salt water  that I watched you spill over and over and over
 Bbsus2
again
Ebmaj7sus2         F6                Gm
          Go ahead,  make me the bad guy

[Chorus]
         F6          Ebmaj7sus2
How dare you guilt me          for not sticking around
      Gm       F6         Ebmaj7sus2
As if you ever did for me?
Gm                      F6                      Ebmaj7sus2
  I'll leave you in the dark with a broken flashlight
Gm                   F6                   Ebmaj7sus2
  You left me with a choice and a pretense

[Bridge]
Bbsus2 F6 Gm F6 Bbsus2 Ebmaj7sus2
Gm F6
Gm   F6       Bbsus2     Ebmaj7sus2
  So I'll take      what strength  I have left,
Gm F6                         Bbsus2 Ebmaj7sus2
     if you could call it that
Gm    F6       Bbsus2    Ebmaj7sus2
  And I'll give      you time      to reflect
Gm F6                         Bbsus2 Ebmaj7sus2
     Then you can call me back

[Chorus]
Gm         F6          Ebmaj7sus2
  How dare you guilt me          for not sticking around
      Gm       F6         Ebmaj7sus2
As if you ever did for me?
Gm                      F6                      Ebmaj7sus2
  I'll leave you in the dark with a broken flashlight
Gm                   F6
  You left me with a choice and a pretense
Ebmaj7sus2
Gm                   F6
  You left me with a choice and a pretense
Ebmaj7sus2
Gm                   F6              Ebmaj7sus2
  You left me with a choice and a pretense
