First Aid Kit – Master Pretender (Ukulele)

C        F                  C   F
   Never thought that I was weak

G                F
Always thought I could get hurt pretty bad

         F                C    F  C  F
Standing up on my own two feet 

C            F             C    F
  I always believed that I was free

       G                   F
That I had some sense of integrity

           G              F                    C  F  C  F
That would rise above whatever tried to change  me

               Am   F         C  
But honey, now        I won't wait

Am                 F                  C    
  For something to bring me round and smile

Am                F            C    
  Cause that only sticks for a while

              G
Then I'm back again

F                     C      F  C  F
  Oh, I'm a master pretender

C          F           C     F
  I always knew that I was young

           g                     F                   F               C  F  C  F
But with a head held high, and a sharp tongue I could fool 'most anyone

C           F        C 
  I never expected to be struck

       G              F             F           C  F  C  F       
By the fatal hands of fortune or by   sheer bad luck

               Am   F         C  
But honey, now       we won't change

Am        F             C    
  And memories just rearrange

    Am F      C    
And fall into place

              G
Then I'm back again

F                     C      F  C  F
  Oh, I'm a master pretender

       F                   C
Oh the streets of New York City 

F           C                  G
  Sure look pretty from way up here

    F            C           
And I was headed home

F                 C                     G
  just found more alone the further I'd go

C          F                 C    F
  I always thought that you'd be here

    G                F      F               C      F  C  F
But shit gets fucked up and people just disappear

              Am  F          C
So honey, now,      don't be mad

Am         F          C 
  Time has told me it   can't be that bad and if it is, 

Am           F     C
  well, I'll be goddamned

           G
I'll stick around

F                     C         F  G  F        
  I'll be your master defender 

                 D
Yeah, I'll stick around

F                     C         F  C  F  
I'll be your master defender
