Lyrics
Oh, (Eb)yes, I'm the (Fm)great (Bb7)(Eb)pretender,
(Eb7)(Ab)pretendin' I'm doin' (Eb)well.
(Eb7)My (Ab)need is (Bb7)such, I (Eb)pretend too (Ab)much;
(Fm7)I'm (Eb)lonely, but (Fm)no one can (Eb)tell.
(Bb7)Oh, (Eb)yes, I'm the (Fm)great (Bb7)(Eb)pretender,
(Eb7)(Ab)adrift in a world of (Eb)myown.
(Eb7)I (Ab)play the (Bb7)game, but to (Eb)my real (Ab)shame,
(Fm7)(Eb)you'veleft me to (Fm)dream all (Eb)alone.
(Eb7)Too (Ab)real is this feeling of (Eb)makebelieve,
(Eb7)too (Ab)real when I feel what my (Eb)heart can't (Bb7)conceal.
Oh, (Eb)yes, I'm the (Fm)great (Bb7)(Eb)pretender,
(Eb7)just (Ab)laughin' and gay like a (Eb)clown.
(Eb7)I (Ab)seem to (Bb7)be whatI'm (Eb)not,
you (Ab)see;
(Fm7)I'm (Eb)wearin' my (Fm)heart like a (G)crown,
(Bb7)(Eb)pretendin' that (Fm)you're still (Eb)aroun'.
(Bb7)Oh, (Eb)yes, I'm the (Fm)great (Bb7)(Eb)pretender,
(Eb7)(Ab)pretendin' I'm doin' (Eb)well.
(Eb7)My (Ab)need is (Bb7)such, I (Eb)pretend too (Ab)much;
(Fm7)I'm (Eb)lonely, but (Fm)no one can (Eb)tell.
(Bb7)Oh, (Eb)yes, I'm the (Fm)great (Bb7)(Eb)pretender,
(Eb7)(Ab)adrift in a world of (Eb)myown.
(Eb7)I (Ab)play the (Bb7)game, but to (Eb)my real (Ab)shame,
(Fm7)(Eb)you'veleft me to (Fm)dream all (Eb)alone.
(Eb7)Too (Ab)real is this feeling of (Eb)makebelieve,
(Eb7)too (Ab)real when I feel what my (Eb)heart can't (Bb7)conceal.
Oh, (Eb)yes, I'm the (Fm)great (Bb7)(Eb)pretender,
(Eb7)just (Ab)laughin' and gay like a (Eb)clown.
(Eb7)I (Ab)seem to (Bb7)be whatI'm (Eb)not,
you (Ab)see;
(Fm7)I'm (Eb)wearin' my (Fm)heart like a (G)crown,
(Bb7)(Eb)pretendin' that (Fm)you're still (Eb)aroun'.
(Bb7)Oh, (Eb)roun'.
