[intro]


[verse]
C#m
Keep you in the dark
               A#m7b5   Amaj
You know they all pretend
C#m
Keep you in the dark
         A#m7b5   Amaj
And so it all began

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

C#m
I'm finished making sense

Done pleading ignorance
        F#/A#         A   B
That whole ,  defense

C#m
Spinning infinity, boy

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


[chorus]
C#m
What if I say I'm not like the others?
                                     F#/A#
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

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

C#m
What if I say I'm not like the others?
                                   F#/A#
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

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


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

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


[chorus]
C#m
What if I say I'm not like the others?
                                     F#/A#
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

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

C#m
What if I say I'm not like the others?
                                   F#/A#
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

You're the pretender
A                                           F#
What if I say that I'll never surrender?


[Bridge]
C#5
I'm the voice inside your head
C#5
You refuse to hear
C#5
I'm the face that you have to face
C#5
Mirrored in your stare
C#5
I'm what's left, I'm what's right
C#5
I'm the enemy
C#5
I'm the hand that will take you down
C#5
Bring you to your knees
C#5
So who are you?
C#5
Yeah, who are you?
C#5
Yeah, who are you?
C#5
Yeah, who are you?


[Interlude]
C#m
Keep you in the dark
             A#m7b5   Amaj
You know they all pretend


[Chorus]
C#m
What if I say I'm not like the others?
                                     F#/A#
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

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

C#m
What if I say I'm not like the others?
                                   F#/A#
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

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

C#m
What if I say I'm not like the others?
                                     F#/A#
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

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

C#m
What if I say I'm not like the others?
                                   F#/A#
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

You're the pretender
A                                         F#
What if I say that I'll never surrender?


[outro]
C#5
So who are you?
C#5
Yeah, who are you?
C#5
Yeah, who are you?
