Lewis Capaldi - The Pretender: chords

A
I will be your shoulder to cry on
F#m
I will make you laugh if you need
E
I will play the part if you say so
      D
Yeah, I'll be anybody but me

A                             E
To tell you the truth, I'm a mess, I'm a fool
           D        E
You don't know that
    F#m
And you never will
       E                            D
In my mind, it's instilled not to show that

Chorus:
A
I spend almost all of my time
                 A/E
Feeling like I'm falling even further behind
      F#m       D
And I know I'm so good at seeming
A/E
Like I'm not on the edge of a knife
            D                  F#m
I'm the pretender, what can I tell ya?
             A/E
Designed to deceive
    D                          A
So tell me who you want me to be

I can wear a million faces
'Cause I don't like the one underneath
Always found it easy to fake it
Yeah, I'll be anybody but me

To tell you the truth, I'm the fraud in the room
And I know that
But you never will
In my mind, it's instilled not to show that

Chorus:
I spend almost all of my time
Feeling like I'm falling even further behind
And I know I'm so good at seeming
Like I'm not on the edge of a knife
I feel like everything I do is a lie
And all the words just further pull
the wool over eyes
I know I'm no good at being who
I am away from the light
I'm the pretender, what can I tell ya?
Designed to deceive
So, tell me who you want me to be

          E
And I'll be
       D                                       F#m
Be my best impression of what you expect from me
          E         D
But what you don't see is

Chorus:
I spend almost all of my time
Feeling like I'm falling even further behind
I know I'm so good at seeming
Like I'm not on the edge of a knife
I feel like everything I do is a lie
And all the words just further
pull the wool over eyes
I know I'm no good at being who
I am away from the light
I'm the pretender, what can I tell ya?
And I'm an imposter, but Hell is a mender
I'm the pretender, what can I tell ya?
Designed to deceive
So, tell me who you want me to be
