[Verse 1]
F           Cmaj7
If I ask you a question
         F       Cmaj7
Are you going to lie to me?
    F         Cmaj7
Is that your question?
                 F      G
Because that one is easy

                  Cmaj7
It's gripping the city
  F              Cmaj7
And hitting the town
   F          Cmaj7
And no one on earth is
           F   G   F
Doing this now


[Chorus]
F              G
If you can pretend
    Cmaj7       F
And I can pretend
F               G
Pretending won't end
    Cmaj7          F
And then and well then


[Verse 2]
F                   Cmaj7
If you take the chances
F            Cmaj7
I'll take the bows
          F        Cmaj7
Saying, "No one on earth is
  F          G
Doing this now"

                    Cmaj7
But if I ask you a question
        F               Cmaj7
Are you going to lie to me?
    F             Cmaj7
Is that your question?
        F           G     F
Because that one is easy


[Chorus]
F               G
If you don't pretend
    Cmaj7        F
And I don't pretend
F                G
Pretending might end
      Cmaj7             F
But pretend can pretend to end, that's right


[Outro]
F             G
You can't pretend
Cmaj7                 F
Yes, I can, yes, I can, yes, I can
F              G
You can't pretend
Cmaj7                 F
Yes, I can, yes, I can, yes, I can

F            G
You can't pretend
Cmaj7                  F
Yes, I can, yes, I can, yes, I can
F             G
You can't pretend
Cmaj7                   F
Yes, I can, yes, I can, yes, I can
