[intro]


[verse]
Dm
Keep you in the dark
               Bm7b5   A#maj
You know they all pretend
Dm
Keep you in the dark
         Bm7b5   A#maj
And so it all began

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

Dm
I'm finished making sense

Done pleading ignorance
        G/B         A#   C
That whole ,  defense

Dm
Spinning infinity, boy

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


[chorus]
Dm
What if I say I'm not like the others?
                                     G/B
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?

Dm
What if I say I'm not like the others?
                                   G/B
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]
Dm
In time or so I'm told
                           G/B           A#  C
I'm just another soul for sale... oh, well
Dm
The page is out of print

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


[chorus]
Dm
What if I say I'm not like the others?
                                     G/B
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?

Dm
What if I say I'm not like the others?
                                   G/B
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?

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


[Bridge]
D5
I'm the voice inside your head
D5
You refuse to hear
D5
I'm the face that you have to face
D5
Mirrored in your stare
D5
I'm what's left, I'm what's right
D5
I'm the enemy
D5
I'm the hand that will take you down
D5
Bring you to your knees
D5
So who are you?
D5
Yeah, who are you?
D5
Yeah, who are you?
D5
Yeah, who are you?


[Interlude]
Dm
Keep you in the dark
             Bm7b5   A#maj
You know they all pretend


[Chorus]
Dm
What if I say I'm not like the others?
                                     G/B

You're the pretender

What if I say that I'll never surrender?

Dm
What if I say I'm not like the others?

You're the pretender

You're the pretender

What if I say that I'll never surrender?

Dm
What if I say I'm not like the others?
                                   G/B

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


[outro]

So who are you?

Yeah, who are you?
D5
Yeah, who are you?
