[verse]
Am
Keep you in the dark
               F#m7b5    Fmaj
You know they all     pretend

Am
Keep you in the dark
           F#m7b5   Fmaj
And so it all     began


[drums]


[verse]
Am
Send in your skeletons
                                 D/F#    F
Sing as their bones go marching in... again
Am
They need you buried deep
                               D/F#
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Fmaj    G
Are you ready?

Am
I'm finished making sense
               G
Done pleading ignorance
       D/F#             F  (G)
That whole       defense

Am
Spinning infinity, boy
              G
The wheel is spinning me
       D/F#         F    (G)
It's never-ending, never-ending
D
Same old story...


[chorus]
Am
What if I say I'm not like the others?
Am                (Am)  (Bm)   (C)    (F#m7b5)  D/F#
What if I say I'm not   just   another one        of your plays?
D
You're the pretender
F                        (G)
What if I say that I will never surrender?

Am
What if I say I'm not like the others?
Am                (Am)  (Bm)   (C)    (F#m7b5)  D/F#
What if I say I'm not   just   another one        of your plays?
D
You're the pretender
F                        (G)
What if I say that I will never surrender?

[verse]
Am
In time or so I'm told
                         D/F#            F (G)
I'm just another soul for sale... oh, well

Am
The page is out of print
           G
We are not permanent
      D/F#        F   (G)
We're temporary, temporary
D
Same old story...

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

You're the pretender

[interlude]
A5
I'm the voice inside your head
A5
You refuse to hear
A5
I'm the face that you have to face
A5
Mirrored in your stare

A5
I'm what's left, I'm what's right
A5
I'm the enemy
A5
I'm the hand that will take you down
A5
Bring you to your knees

A5
So who are you?
A5
Yeah, who are you?
A5
Yeah, who are you?
A5
Yeah, who are you?

A5
Yeah, who are you?
A5
Yeah, who are you?
A5
Yeah, who are you?
A5
Yeah, who are you?!
