Intro: D Ddim D7 

        G                  D7             G 
Oh! Yes, I'm the great pretender 
               G7       C                   G 
Pretending that I'm doing well 
G7  C       D7            G        C               
My need is such, I pretender too much 
        G             D7       G       D7 
I'm lonely, but no one can tell 
        G                 Am             G  
Oh! Yes, I'm the great pretender 
       G7           C                  G 
A drift in a world of my own 
G7      C        D7           G              C    
I play the game, but to my real shame  
            C#dim     G          D7         G 
You've left me to dream all alone 
G7      C        D7           G              C    
I play the game, but to my real shame  
            C#dim     G          D7         G 
You've left me to dream all alone 
G7                        C                         G     
Too real is  the  feeling of make believe   
                            C            Am            G             D7 
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal 
          G                Am            G 
Oh! Yes, I'm the great pretender 
                G7             C                 G  
Just laughing and gay like a clown 
G7 C       D7           G           G7       
I  seem to be what I'm  not, you see   
              C  C#dim   G        D7       B7 
I'm wearing my heart like a crown 
   C            D7           G 
Pretending that you're still around 
G7  C                      G                                     
Too real is the feeling of make me believe  
  C            Am            G             D7 
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal 
        G                  Am             G  
Oh! Yes, I'm the great pretender 
                G7             C              G 
Just laughing and gay like a clown 
G7 C               D7                        G  G7  
I  seem to be what I'm  not, you see      
            C   C#dim     G      D7      B7 
I'm wearing my heart like a crown 
         C                   D7             G 
Pretending that you're still around
