With a Moderate Riff 
 
Intro: 
G    G    C    G    G    C    G 
 
      G                      G 
People talking, think I'm all right 
        G 
Think I'm doing fine 
        C                         G     C      
Goin' through the motions of my life 
        G           G 
Go to work now every mornin' 
        G 
Yea I play the part 
        C                                Am 
And hide away the contents of my solemn heart 

            Em 
But when the sun goes down 
        C 
And the moon is high 
      D               C                     G      C/B    D 
I can't control the flood of all these tears inside 
        Em 
And if they only knew 
        C   
They'd be so surprised 
     D              C                   G   
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
 
 
G    G     C     G 
 
       G                  G                     G 
Keep 'em guessin', keep 'em laughin', build that wall up high 
       C                               G     C      
As long as they don't see the other side 
       G 
You've really done it 
       G                G  
Done a number, a number on my soul 
       C                             Am 
But I'll be damned if I ever let you know 
 
Chorus: 
            Em 
But when the sun goes down 
       C 
And the moon is high 
       D                    C                       G   C/B    D 
There's no way to hide the truth from me, myself, and I 
       Em 
Yeah, I wear it well 
       C 
Though it ain't my size 
     D              C                   G 
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise

     G                 G 
I'm not one to show emotion 
         G 
Like some fools I see 
    G                             G       C 
I won't wear my heart out on my sleeve 
    G                        G                   G 
I don't miss you not for a moment, I'm gonna be okay 
     C                                 Am 
Words of wisdom spoken by the light of day 
 
Chorus: 
            Em 
But when the sum goes down  
        C 
And the moon is high 
    D               C                      G     C/B     D 
Your memory pulls me under like a strong riptide 
            Em 
I'm still in love with you 
            C 
It's all smoke and lights 
     D              C                   G 
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise 
     D              C                   G 
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
