I only put chords down because there are so many different versions of this
song that anything besides chords would be basically useless... This is
hardly perfect, and if someone could play through it and give a second opinion,
it would be most appreciated.
Intro: G C G C

        [G]                [C]        [D]    [G]You've left me to dream all alone.
        [C]                            [G]Too real is this feeling of make believe,
        [C]                            [G] [D]Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
    [G]                  [C]   [C]   [G]    [G7]   Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
    [C]                                [G] [G7]Just lauging and gay like a clown
    [C]       [D]             [G]            [C] [C] [#]I seem to be, what I'm not, you see,

(everything moves up 1/2 step)
