[Verse]
Am C
Keep you in the dark
D F
You know they all pretend
Am C
Keep you in the dark
D F
And so it all began
Am
Send in your skeletons
C D F
Sing as their bones go marching in... again
Am
The need you buried deep
C D
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
F
Are you ready?
Am
I'm finished making sense
C
Done pleading ignorance
D F
That whole defense
Am
Spinning infinity, boy
C
The wheel is spinning me
D
It's never-ending, never-ending
F
Same old story
[Chorus]
Am
What if I say I'm not like the others?
C D
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
D
You're the pretender
F
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
Am
What if I say I'm not like the others?
C D
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
D
You're the pretender
F
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
[Verse]
Am
In time or so i'm told
C D F
I'm just another soul for sale... oh, well
Am
The page is out of print
C
We are not permanent
D
We're temporary, temporary
F
Same old story
[Chorus]
Am
What if I say I'm not like the others?
C D
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
D
You're the pretender
F
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
Am
What if I say I'm not like the others?
C D
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
D
You're the pretender
F
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
[Verse]
Am
I'm the voice inside your head
C
You refuse to hear
Am
I'm the face that you have to face
C
Mirrored in your stare
Am
I'm what's left, I'm what's right
C
I'm the enemy
Am
I'm the hand that will take you down
C
Bring you to your knees
D
So who are you?
F
Yeah, who are you?
D
Yeah, who are you?
F
Yeah, who are you?
Am C
Keep you in the dark
D F
You know they all pretend
[Chorus]
Am
What if I say I'm not like the others?
C D
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
D
You're the pretender
F
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
Am
What if I say I'm not like the others?
C D
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
D
You're the pretender
F
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
Am
What if I say I'm not like the others?
C D
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
D
You're the pretender
F
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
Am
What if I say I'm not like the others?
C D
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
D
You're the pretender
F
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
D F
So who are you?
D F
Yeah, who are you?
D F
Yeah, who are you?
