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

Chorus:
            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

Solo:
C    Em    C    C    D    C    D    C    D    G

     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
