      F       Em    D   C   Asus2   F 
Let's pretend we're not needy

Let's pretend our hearts still beat 
      F       Em D    C  Em   F 
Let's pretend we fall in love tonight 
   F   Em         C       Em  F 
Clumsy enough to fall for anything 


      F  Em   D  C   Asus2 F 
We'll stumble on our words 
       F        Em      C    Em  F 
We'll spill our guts on creaking bar stools 

F 
Below the neon blue 

Am        C 
Low lives hiding in dives 
           F          Em        D        C                F Asus2 
There's no feeling in drinking, sleeping with strangers 
F              Em        D        C                F Asus2 
Ghosts passing through bedrooms unaware 
F       Em         D        C                F Asus2 
A faint reflection on the barback's mirror

F        Em    D        C 
A face I never knew whispering 

C      Am         Em          F 
Please don't be a stranger to me 
C   Am      Em        F 
Who are you if you're alone?

       F  Em      D  C   Asus2 
You're no good at pretending 
F      Em         C   Em F 
All my plays have tragic endings 
     F  Em D       C  Em   F 
You wish I was a fairy tale 
     F         Em    C      Em F 
This frog will never change anything

Just pretend that you're in love

That scolding sun is bound to come up   eventually 
     F        Em     C        Em   F     F Asus2 
So who is it that whispers in your ear? 
     F        Em          D            C     F Asus2 
A haunting voice blows in through the window 
F          Em      D    C        F Asus2 
There's no feeling floating over beds 
  F     Em       D     C 
A needy pleading apparition

         C   Am   Em      F 
Crying, "Who am I if I am alone? 
C Am     Em       F 
I hardly exist at all 
F     E               D          C        Em           F 
Let's pretend that we don't need anything anymore from anyone 
F       E               D          C         Em   F 
I don't want to feel anything anymore, let's just pretend
