[Intro]
A

[Verse 1]
A
I will be your shoulder
 to cry on
F#m
I will make you laugh 
if you need
E
I will play the part 
if you say so
      D
Yeah, I\'ll be anybody but me

[Pre-Chorus]
A                     
To tell you the truth,
        E
 I\'m a mess, I\'m a fool
           D        E
You don\'t know that
    F#m
And you never will
       E                  
In my mind, it\'s instilled
         D
 not to show that

[Chorus]
A
I spend almost all of my time
                 A/E
Feeling like I\'m falling 
even further behind
      F#m      D
And I know I\'m so
 good at seeming
A/E                
Like I\'m not on the 
             Asus2/E
edge of a knife
           D       
I\'m the pretender, 
           F#m
what can I tell ya?
            Asus2/E
Designed to deceive
   D               
So tell me who you 
               A
want me to be

[Verse 2]
A
I can wear a million faces
F#m
\'Cause I don\'t like 
the one underneath
E
Always found it 
easy to fake it
      D
Yeah, I\'ll be anybody but me

[Pre-Chorus]
A                     
To tell you the truth,
           E
 I\'m the fraud in the room
           D        E
You don\'t know that
    F#m
And you never will
       E                  
In my mind, it\'s instilled
         D
 not to show that

A
I spend almost all of my time

And I know I\'m so 
good at seeming
A/E                 
Like I\'m not on the 
            Asus2/E
edge of a knife
            A
I feel like everything
 I do is a lie
                       A/E
And all the words just further
 pull the wool over my eyes
  F#m      D
I know I\'m no good at being
A/E                     Asus2/E
Who I am away from the light
           D      
I\'m the pretender, 
            F#m
what can I tell ya?
            Asus2/E
Designed to deceive
   D              
So tell me who you
             A
 want me to be

[Bridge]
          E
And I\'ll be
       D                 
Be my best impression of 
                      F#m
what you expect from me
          E         D
But what you don\'t see is

[Chorus]
A
I spend almost all of my time
                 A/E
Feeling like I\'m falling
 even further behind
      F#m      D
And I know I\'m so 
good at seeming
A/E                
Like I\'m not on the 
             Asus2/E
edge of a knife
            A
I feel like everything 
I do is a lie
                       A/E
And all the words just further
 pull the wool over my eyes
  F#m      D
I know I\'m no good at being
A/E               
Who I am away from 
      Asus2/E
the light
           D      
I\'m the pretender, 
            F#m
what can I tell ya?
             A/E    
And I\'m an imposter,
                Asus2/E
 my head is a mender
           D      
I\'m the pretender, 
            F#m
what can I tell ya?
            Asus2/E
Designed to deceive
   D               
So tell me who you
