F           Cmaj7
If I ask you a question

         F       Cmaj7
Are you going to lie to me?

    F         Cmaj7
Is that your question?

                 F      G
Because that one is easy

                  Cmaj7
It's gripping the city

  F              Cmaj7
And hitting the town

   F          Cmaj7
And no one on earth is

           F   G   F
Doing this now
[Chorus]
F              G
If you can pretend

    Cmaj7       F
And I can pretend

F               G
Pretending won't end

    Cmaj7          F
And then and well then
[Verse 2]
F                   Cmaj7
If you take the chances

F            Cmaj7
I'll take the bows

          F        Cmaj7
Saying, "No one on earth is

  F          G
Doing this now"

                    Cmaj7
But if I ask you a question

        F               Cmaj7
Are you going to lie to me?

    F             Cmaj7
Is that your question?

        F           G     F
Because that one is easy
[Chorus]
F               G
If you don't pretend

    Cmaj7        F
And I don't pretend

F                G
Pretending might end

      Cmaj7             F
But pretend can pretend to end, that's right
[Outro]
F             G
You can't pretend

Cmaj7                 F
Yes, I can, yes, I can, yes, I can

F              G
You can't pretend

Cmaj7                 F
Yes, I can, yes, I can, yes, I can

F            G
You can't pretend

Cmaj7                  F
Yes, I can, yes, I can, yes, I can

F             G
You can't pretend

Cmaj7                   F
Yes, I can, yes, I can, yes, I can
