(Verse)GCadd9GCadd9
Never thought that I was weak
DC
Always thought I could get hurt pretty bad
CGCadd9GCadd9
Standing up on my own two feet
GCadd9GCadd9
I always believed that I was free
DC
That I had some sense of integrity
DCGCadd9GCadd9
That would rise above whatever tried to change me
(Chorus)
EmCG
But honey, now I won't wait
EmCG
For something to bring me round and smile
EmCG
Cause that only sticks for a while
D
Then I'm back again
CGCadd9GCadd9
Oh, I'm a master pretender
(Interlude)
GCadd9GCadd9GCadd9GCadd9(Verse)GCadd9GCadd9
I always knew that I was young
DCCGCadd9GCadd9
But with a head held high, and a sharp tongue I could fool 'most anyone
GCadd9D
I never expected to be struck
DCCGCadd9GCadd9
By the fatal hands of fortune or by sheer bad luck
(Chorus)
EmCG
But honey, now we won't change
EmCG
And memories just rearrange
EmCG
And fall into place
D
So I'm back again
CGCadd9GCadd9
Oh, I'm a master pretender
(Middle8)
CG
Oh the streets of New York City
CGD
Sure look pretty from way up here
CG
And I was headed home
CGD
just found more alone the further I'd go
(Verse)GCadd9GCadd9
I always thought that you'd be here
DCCGCadd9GCadd9
But shit gets fucked up and people just disappear
(Chorus)
EmCG
So honey, now, don't be mad
EmCG
Time has told me it can't be that bad and if it is,
EmCG
well, I'll be goddamned
D
I'll stick around
CGCadd9GCadd9
I'll be your master defender
D
Yeah, I'll stick around
CGCadd9GCadd9
I'll be your master defender
(Outro)
