Roy Orbison - The Great Pretender: chords

       F            A#       F
Oh-oh, yes I'm the great pretender
    A#                     F
Pretending that I'm doing well
    A#      C         F        A#
My need is such I pretend too much
     F          C          F   C
I'm lonely but no one can tell

        F           A#       F
Oh-oh, yes I'm the great pretender
   A#                   F   F7
Adrift in a world of my own
      A#         C           F       A#
I've played the game but to my real shame
        F           C          F  F7
You've left me to grieve all alone

Chorus:
     A#                      F       F7
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
     A#                       F              C
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal,
oh-oh

Oh, yes, I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

Chorus:
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Oh, yes, I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
