Chorus: 
C5             G5    C5 
Lyin' in his arms again 
F5                          C5 
Sayin' things that I don't mean 
                  G5    A5 
Makin' love while I pretend 
D5                            G5 
You're the one who's holdin' me 
C5               G5         C5 
How it hurts to think I'd lie 
       F5                           C5 
To the one who thinks the world of me 
     F5 
So tonight I'll let him hold me 
    C5               F5 
And tell him I love him 
C5            G5    C5 
Lyin' in his arms again 
 
 
            D5                  G5 
My heart is aching, filled with pain 
        C5 
'Cause tonight I meant to tell him 
      F5           G5 
But I put it off again 
           D5               G5 
Oh I don't mean to hurt his pride 
       F5             Eb5 
'Cause he has always been to me 
  D#5        D5 
A lover & a friend to me 
   F5                               G5 
Oh I just couldn't bear to see him cry, but I'm... 
 
Chorus 
 
It won't be long now till I tell the truth 
I'm gonna get my courage up & tell him about you 
This ring I'm wearin', it fits so tight 
Oh you know it's chokin' me 
I wish that it would set me free 
Or I'll have to play pretend again tonight
