The Pretender
Lewis Capaldi
Key : G
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
G

[Verse 1]
---------------------
G
I will be your shoulder to cry on
Em 
I  will make you laugh if you need
D
I will play the part if you say so
      C
Yeah, I'll be anybody but me
   Em                            D
To tell you the truth I'm a mess, I'm a fool
              C
You don't know that
D    Em 
 And you never will
           D                          C
In my mind, it's instilled not to show that

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
G
I spend almost all of my time
                 D
Feeling like I'm falling even further behind
      Em       C
And I know I'm so good at seeming
     D
Like I'm not on the edge of a knife
              C                   Em 
I'm the pretender, what can I tell   ya?
                   D
Designed to deceive
   C                            G
So tell me who you want me to be

[Verse 2]
---------------------
G
I can wear a million faces
      Em 
Cause I  don't like the one underneath
D
Always found it easy to fake it
      C
Yeah, I'll be anybody but me
   Em                              D                      C
To tell you the truth I'm the fraud in the room and I know that
D    Em 
 But you never will
           D                          C
In my mind, it's instilled not to show that

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
G
I spend almost all of my time
                 D
Feeling like I'm falling even further behind
      Em       C
And I know I'm so good at seeming
     D
Like I'm not on the edge of a knife
            G
I feel like everything I do is a lie
                       D
And all the words just further pull the wool over eyes
  Em        C                D
I know, I'm no good at being who I am away from the light
              C                   Em 
I'm the pretender, what can I tell   ya?
                   D
Designed to deceive
   C                            Em 
So tell me who you want me to be

[Bridge]
---------------------
           D
And I'll be
          C                             D       Em 
Be my best impression of what you expect from me
            D         C
But what you don't see is

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
G
I spend almost all of my time
                 D
Feeling like I'm falling even further behind
  Em       C
I know I'm so good at seeming
     D
Like I'm not on the edge of a knife
            G
I feel like everything I do is a lie
                       D
And all the words just further pull the wool over eyes
  Em        C                D
I know, I'm no good at being who I am away from the light
              C                   Em 
I'm the pretender, what can I tell   ya?
                G                     D
And I'm an imposter, but Hell is a mender
              C                   Em 
I'm the pretender, what can I tell   ya?
                   D
Designed to deceive
   C                            G
So tell me who you want me to be
