The Pretender
G
C
G
C
I'm gonna rent myself a house in the shade of the freeway
G
D
C
Gonna pack my lunch in the morning, and go to work each day
G
C
And when the evening rolls around
G
C
I'll go on home and lay my body down
G
D
And when the morning light comes streaming in
C
G
Am
G
I'll get up and do it again, Amen
C
G
Am
G
Say it again, Amen
I want to know what became of the changes we waited for love to bring
Were they only the fitful dreams of some greater awakening
I've been aware of the time going by
They say in the end it's the wink of an eye
And when the morning light comes streaming in
I'll get up and do it again, Amen
Say it again, Amen
G
D
Caught between the longing for love
C
Em
B7
And the struggle for the legal tender
C
Where the sirens sing and the church bells ring
Em
C
And the junkman pounds his fender
G
C
Where the veterans dream of the fight
B7
Em
Fast asleep at the traffic light
A7
G
D
And the children solemnly wait for the ice cream vendor
Em
D
C
Em
D
Out into the cool of the evening, strolls the pretender
C
D
He knows that all his hopes an dreams
G
Begin and end there
G
C
G
C
C
G
Ah the lovers as they run through the night
C
Em
Leaving nothing but to choose off and fight
D
G
C
And tear at the world with all their might
G
Em
While the ships bearing their dreams
G
D
Sail out of sight
I'm gonna find myself a girl who can show me what laughter means
Then we'll fill in the missing colors in each other's paint-by-number dreams
And then we'll put our dark glasses on
And we'll make love until our strength is gone
And when the morning light comes streaming in
We'll get up and do it again, Amen
Get it up again, Amen
I'm gonna be a happy idiot
And struggle for the legal tender
Where the ads take aim, and lay their claim
To the heart and the soul of the spender
And believe in whatever may lie
In those things that money can buy
Though true love could have been a contender

Are you there, say a prayer for the pretender

Who started out so young and strong only to surrender

Say a prayer for the pretender

Are you there for the pretender?

Are you prepared for the pretender?

Are you there for the pretender?
