[intro]


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

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

Em
I'm finished making sense

Done pleading ignorance
        A/C#         C   D
That whole ,  defense

Em
Spinning infinity, boy

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


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

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

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

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


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

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


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

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

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

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


[Bridge]
E5
I'm the voice inside your head
E5
You refuse to hear
E5
I'm the face that you have to face
E5
Mirrored in your stare
E5
I'm what's left, I'm what's right
E5
I'm the enemy
E5
I'm the hand that will take you down
E5
Bring you to your knees
E5
So who are you?
E5
Yeah, who are you?
E5
Yeah, who are you?
E5
Yeah, who are you?


[Interlude]
Em
Keep you in the dark
             C#m7b5   Cmaj
You know they all pretend


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


[outro]
E5
So who are you?
E5
Yeah, who are you?
E5
Yeah, who are you?
