The Pretender Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

G C 2x

I'm gonna Grent myself a house in the shade of the Cfreeway

Gonna Gpack my lunch in the morning, and go to Dwork each Cday

And when the Gevening rolls aCround,

I'll go on Ghome and lay my body Cdown

And when the Gmorning light comes streaming Din

I'll get up and do it aCgaiGn AmAmeGn

Say it aCgaiGn AAmmen G

GI want to know what became of the changes,

We waited for Clove to bring

GWere they only the fitful dreams

Of some greater DawakeninCg

I've been aGware of the time going Cby

They say in the Gend it's the wink of an Ceye

And when the Gmorning light comes streaming Din

I'll get up and do it aCgaiGn AmAmeGn

Say it aCgaiGn AAmmen G

GCaught between the Dlonging for love

And the Cstruggle for the Emlegal B7tender

Where the Csirens sing and the church bells ring

And the Emjunkman pounds his Cfender

Where the Gveterans dream of the Cfight,

Fast aB7sleep at the traffic Emlight

And the A7children solemnly wait for the Gice cream Dvendor

EmOut into the Dcool of the evening, Cstrolls the preEmtenderD

He knows that Call his hopes an Ddreams

Begin and Gend there

G C G C

CAh the lovers as they run through the Gnight

Leaving Cnothing but to choose off and Emfight

And Dtear at the Gworld with all their Cmight

While the Gships bearing their Emdreams

GSail out of Dsight

DI'm gonna Gfind myself a girl,

Who can show me what Claughter means

Then we'll Gfill in the missing colors in each others

Paint by Dnumber Cdreams

And then we'll Gput our dark glasses Con

And we'll make Glove until our strength is Cgone

And when the Gmorning light comes streaming Din

we'll get up and do it aCgaiGn AmAmeGn

get it up aCgaiGn AAmmen G

GI'm gonna be a Dhappy idiot, and Cstruggle for the Emlegal B7tender

Where the Cads take aim, and lay their claim

To the Emheart and the soul of the Gspender

And Cbelieve in whatever may Glie

In those B7things that money can Embuy

Though A7true love could have been a conDtender

EmAre you Dthere, say a CprayerD for the preEmtender

Who Cstarted out so young and Dstrong only to suGrrender

GSay a prayer for the preCtenderCsus4

GAre you there for the preCtenderCsus4

GAre you prepared for the preCtenderCsus4

GAre you there for the preCtenderCsus4

(Csus4 = C chord + high E 3rd fret)
