Pretending Along

 
Cm7 
Like I'm singing the words 
                             Dm7  Gm7 
Of a song that I can't quite recall 
Cm7                                        Dm7  Gm7 
So I fill it all up with the words that I know well enough 
Cm7 
While I'm fumbling for phrases 
                               Dm7  Gm7 
And pretending that I know the song 
Cm7                                 Dm7  Gm7 
I fit into a crowd full of people pretending along 
 

 
Cm7                  Dm7  Gm7 
I never learned how to make a friend 
Cm7                                  Dm7  Gm7 
'Cause when I tried it would always come to an end 
Cm7 
But I smile at myself 
         Dm7Gm7 
When I'm playing pretend 
Cm7 
'Cause I don't know the song 
Cm7 
I'm just playing along 
 

 
Cm7 
Like I'm singing the words 
                             Dm7  Gm7 
Of a song that I can't quite recall 
Cm7                                        Dm7  Gm7 
So I fill it all up with the words that I know well enough 
Cm7 
While I'm fumbling for phrases 
                               Dm7  Gm7 
And pretending that I know the song 
Cm7                                 Dm7  Gm7 
I fit into a crowd full of people pretending along 
 

 
Cm7 
What is this song (Oh) 
Dm7 
I'm singing along to? 
Cm7 
I've heard it before (Oh) 
                 Gm7 
Don't know but I want to 
 

 
Cm7                 Dm7G 
I wish that I didn't have to play pretend 
Cm7               Dm7  Gm7 
How long will I look for a friend? 
Cm7                 Dm7G 
Can you even hear all the songs I sing? 
Cm7             Dm7  Gm7 
Am I just a voice in the crowd? 
Cm7                 Dm7G 
If someone can hear my little melody 
Cm7         Dm7  Gm7 
You are the reason I sing (one, two, three...) 

{Instrumental} 
Cm7         Dm7  Gm7 
Da da da da...(what is this song?)
