1. Oh yes, I'm the Great Pretender,      pretending I'm doing well.
         C5      D5          G5        C5         G5          D5          G5 - D5
    My need is such, I pretend too much, I'm lonely but no one can tell.
       G5             D5       G5       G5     C5                      G5 - G5
2. Oh yes, I'm the great pretender,      adrift in a world  of my own.
        C5        D5           G5        C5            G5           D5         G5 - G5
    I play the game, but to my real shame, you've left me to dream all alone.
         C5                       G5            G5
    Too real is this feeling of make believe,
         C5                         G5             D5
    too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal.
       G5              D5      G5      G5        C5                        G5 - G5
3. Oh yes, I'm the great pretender,     just laughing and gay like a clown.
       C5       D5            G5        C5
    I seem to be, what I'm not, you see,
         G5          D5             B5       G5            D5             G5  - G5
    I'm wearing my heart like a crown, pretending that you're still around.  
         C5                       G5              G5
    Too real is this feeling of make believe,
          C5                        G5             D5
    too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal.
       G5             D5        G5       G5        C5                        G5 - G5
4. Oh yes, I'm the great  pretender,      just laughing and gay like a clown.
      C5      D5            G5        C5        G5          D5            B5
  I seem to be, what I'm not, you see, I'm wearing my heart like a crown,
        G5            D5             B5
    pretending that you're still around, 
        G5             D5             G5  - C5 - G5
    pretending that you're still around.
