With a Moderate Riff 
 
Intro: 
G5    G5    C5    G5    G5    C5    G5 
 
      G5                      G5 
People talking, think I'm all right 
        G5 
Think I'm doing fine 
        C5                         G5     C5      
Goin' through the motions of my life 
        G5           G5 
Go to work now every mornin' 
        G5 
Yea I play the part 
        C5                                A5 
And hide away the contents of my solemn heart 


            E5 
But when the sun goes down 
        C5 
And the moon is high 
      D5               C5                     G5      C5    D5 
I can't control the flood of all these tears inside 
        E5 
And if they only knew 
        C5   
They'd be so surprised 
     D5              C5                   G5   
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise  
 

G5    G5     C5     G5 
 
       G5                  G5                     G5 
Keep 'em guessin', keep 'em laughin', build that wall up high 
       C5                               G5     C5      
As long as they don't see the other side 
       G5 
You've really done it 
       G5                G5  
Done a number, a number on my soul 
       C5                             A5 
But I'll be damned if I ever let you know 
 
Chorus: 
            E5 
But when the sun goes down 
       C5 
And the moon is high 
       D5                    C5                       G5   C5    D5 
There's no way to hide the truth from me, myself, and I 
       E5 
Yeah, I wear it well 
       C5 
Though it ain't my size 
     D5              C5                   G5 
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise 
 
Solo: 
C5    E5    C5    C5    D5    C5    D5    C5    D5    G5 
 
     G5                 G5 
I'm not one to show emotion 
         G5 
Like some fools I see 
    G5                             G5       C5 
I won't wear my heart out on my sleeve 
    G5                        G5                   G5 
I don't miss you not for a moment, I'm gonna be okay 
     C5                                 A5 
Words of wisdom spoken by the light of day 
 
Chorus: 
            E5 
But when the sum goes down  
        C5 
And the moon is high 
    D5               C5                      G5     C5     D5 
Your memory pulls me under like a strong riptide 
            E5 
I'm still in love with you 
            C5 
It's all smoke and lights 
     D5              C5                   G5 
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise 
     D5              C5                   G5 
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
