Master Pretender

	  		



(Verse) 
G        Cadd9              G   Cadd9 
   Never thought that I was weak 
D                C 
Always thought I could get hurt pretty bad 
         C                G    Cadd9  G  Cadd9 
Standing up on my own two feet  
G            Cadd9             G    Cadd9 
  I always believed that I was free 
       D                   C 
That I had some sense of integrity 
           D              C                    G  Cadd9  G  Cadd9 
That would rise above whatever tried to change  me 

(Chorus) 
               Em   C         G   
But honey, now        I won't wait 
Em                 C                  G     
  For something to bring me round and smile 
Em                C            G     
  Cause that only sticks for a while 
              D 
Then I'm back again 
C                     G      Cadd9  G  Cadd9 
  Oh, I'm a master pretender 

(Interlude) 
G  Cadd9  G  Cadd9 
G  Cadd9  G  Cadd9 

(Verse) 
G          Cadd9           G     Cadd9 
  I always knew that I was young 
           D                     C                    C               G  Cadd9  G  Cadd9 
But with a head held high, and a sharp tongue I could   fool 'most anyone 
G           Cadd9        D  
  I never expected to be struck 
       D              C             C           G  Cadd9  G  Cadd9        
By the fatal hands of fortune or by   sheer bad luck 

(Chorus) 
               Em  C          G             
But honey, now       we won't change 
Em        C             G 
  And memories just rearrange 
    Em    C      G 
And fall    into place 
            D 
So I'm back again 
C                     G      Cadd9  G  Cadd9 
  Oh, I'm a master pretender 

(Middle8) 
       C                   G 
Oh the streets of New York City  
C           G                  D 
  Sure look pretty from way up here 
    C            G            
And I was headed home 
C                 G                     D 
  just found more alone the further I'd go 

(Verse) 
G          Cadd9                 G    Cadd9 
  I always thought that you'd be here 
    D                C      C               G      Cadd9  G  Cadd9 
But shit gets fucked up and people just disappear 

(Chorus) 
              Em  C          G 
So honey, now,      don't be mad 
Em         C          G  
  Time has told me it   can't be that bad and if it is,  
Em           C     G 
  well, I'll be goddamned 
           D 
I'll stick around 
C                     G         Cadd9  G  Cadd9         
  I'll be your master defender  
                 D 
Yeah, I'll stick around 
C                     G         Cadd9  G  Cadd9   
I'll be your master defender 

(Outro) 
G  Cadd9 G Cadd9   
G  Cadd9 G Cadd9   
G  Cadd9 G Cadd9   
G  Cadd9 G Cadd9   
G  Cadd9 G Cadd9   
G  Cadd9 G Cadd9   
.... End
