I Pretend:Des O'Connor.
#1 in UK in 1968.

#1.
C               G             Am    Em
Sitting here so lonely in the fire..light.
F               C               G     G7
Listening for a footstep on the stairs.
C             G              Am    Em
All I have to talk to is the moon..light,
F             G     C    C7
shining on an empty chair.

CHORUS:
   F                    
So I'll pretend, your loving arms are reaching 
        C
out for me..
     C       C7                           C
Yes, I'll pretend, and though my eyes are closed 
            F
I still can see.
   F      Am    F                                    Bb
As I pre..tend, the world is new and like it used to be.
Bb  C       F         Dm        Gm        C       F   Bb F 
One day our love must end, till then I'll just pretend.

#2.
C                  G                     Am Em
Something made her change, what could it be now?
F           C                G
Wish I knew exactly what I'd done.
C                  G                 Am   Em
If there's someone else I'll set you free now.
F                   G      C   
Guess I've lost and he has won.

CHORUS:
   F                    
So I'll pretend, your loving arms are reaching 
        C
out for me..
     C       C7                           C
Yes, I'll pretend, and though my eyes are closed 
            F
I still can see.
   F      Am    F                                    Bb
As I pre..tend, the world is new and like it used to be.
Bb  C       F         Dm        Gm        C       F   Bb F
One day our love must end, till then I'll just pretend.

OUTRO:
Bb  C       F         Dm        Gm        C       F   
One day our love must end, till then I'll just pretend.
