Oh yes, I'm the Great           Pretender,

Pretending I'm doing well.

My need is such, I pretend too much,

I'm lonely but no one can tell

Adrift in a world  of my own

I play the game, but to my real shame

You've left me to dream all alone.

Too real is this feeling of make believe,

        C                               G               D   

Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

 

    G                 C  C  G   G7

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
