[intro]


[verse]
D#m
Keep you in the dark
               Cm7b5   Bmaj
You know they all pretend
D#m
Keep you in the dark
         Cm7b5   Bmaj
And so it all began

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

D#m
I'm finished making sense

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

D#m
Spinning infinity, boy

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


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

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

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

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


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

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


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

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

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

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


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


[Interlude]
D#m
Keep you in the dark
             Cm7b5   Bmaj
You know they all pretend


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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