Verse 1: 
Em           G    C           Em 
You've never tried to conceal or deny 
Em                G      C             Em 
That this love is my ruin of peril and trial 
Em         G       C                Em 
All of the promises were nothing but lies 
Em     G                                C   C     Em G, D, D 
But now that you're here, why don't you stay for awhile 
 
Verse 2: 
Em      G         C                       Em 
Most of my friends have fallen under your spell 
Em             G           C                   Em 
Some fell into heaven, but most fell back into hell 
Em            G               C                         Em 
The beauty forgotten like the snow covered crops in the field 
Em             G                   C     C    Em G, D, D, Bm, Bm 
Where the wind knows no mercy, she howls, she reels 
 
Chorus: 
        Em    D        Em      D 
But I'm tired... of pretending 
        Em    D        Em      D 
Yes I'm tired... of pretending 
     C G          Em D               Em D 
That I... I still care, yeah I still care

Verse 3: (Keyboards and bass only) 
        Em                 G    C                  Em 
And the smoke curls like a river to some forgotten land 
Em        G       C            Em 
Floating abandoned the mystery concealed 
Em               G      C                    Em 
Like the moonlit shadows on the snow covered field 
Em                   G                 C     C        *Em G, D, D, Bm, Bm (Guitars enter at *) 
Where the wind knows no mercy, and she howls, and she reels 
 
Chorus: 
        Em    D        Em      D 
But I'm tired... of pretending 
        Em    D        Em      D 
Yes I'm tired... of pretending 
     C G          Em D              Em D 
That I... I still care, yes I still care
