[intro]


[verse]
Bm
Keep you in the dark
               G#m7b5   Gmaj
You know they all pretend
Bm
Keep you in the dark
         G#m7b5   Gmaj
And so it all began

Bm
Send in your skeletons
                                 E/G#    G
Sing as their bones go marching in... again
Bm
They need you buried deep
                               E/G#
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
G              A
Are you ready?

Bm
I'm finished making sense

Done pleading ignorance
        E/G#         G   A
That whole ,  defense

Bm
Spinning infinity, boy

The wheel is spinning me
       E/G#         G         A
It's never-ending, never-ending
 E
 Same old story


[chorus]
Bm
What if I say I'm not like the others?
                                     E/G#
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

You're the pretender
G
What if I say that I'll never surrender?

Bm
What if I say I'm not like the others?
                                   E/G#
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

You're the pretender
G
What if I say that I'll never surrender?


[verse]
Bm
In time or so I'm told
                           E/G#           G  A
I'm just another soul for sale... oh, well
Bm
The page is out of print

We are not permanent
      E/G#          G          A
We're tem-po-rary, tem-po-rary
E
Same old story


[chorus]
Bm
What if I say I'm not like the others?
                                     E/G#
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

You're the pretender
G
What if I say that I'll never surrender?

Bm
What if I say I'm not like the others?
                                   E/G#
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

You're the pretender
G                                           E
What if I say that I'll never surrender?


[Bridge]
B5
I'm the voice inside your head
B5
You refuse to hear
B5
I'm the face that you have to face
B5
Mirrored in your stare
B5
I'm what's left, I'm what's right
B5
I'm the enemy
B5
I'm the hand that will take you down
B5
Bring you to your knees
B5
So who are you?
B5
Yeah, who are you?
B5
Yeah, who are you?
B5
Yeah, who are you?


[Interlude]
Bm
Keep you in the dark
             G#m7b5   Gmaj
You know they all pretend


[Chorus]
Bm
What if I say I'm not like the others?
                                     E/G#

You're the pretender
G
What if I say that I'll never surrender?

Bm
What if I say I'm not like the others?
                                   E/G#

You're the pretender
G
What if I say that I'll never surrender?

Bm
What if I say I'm not like the others?
                                     E/G#

You're the pretender
G
What if I say that I'll never surrender?

Bm
What if I say I'm not like the others?
                                   E/G#

You're the pretender
G                                         E
What if I say that I'll never surrender?


[outro]

So who are you?
B5
Yeah, who are you?
B5
Yeah, who are you?
