Verse:
G#m                B
Keep you in the dark
                C#     E
You know they all pretend
G#m                B
Keep you in the dark
            C#   E
And so it all began
G#m
Send in your skeletons
B                                C#    E
Sing as their bones go marching in... again
G#m
The need you buried deep
B                               C#
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
E
Are you ready?
G#m
Iʼm finished making sense
B
Done pleading ignorance
        C#   E
That whole defense
G#m
Spinning infinity, boy
B
The wheel is spinning me
       C#
Itʼs never-ending, never-ending
E
Same old story

Chorus:
G#m
What if I say Iʼm not like the others?
B                                   C#
What if I say Iʼm not just another one of your plays?
Youʼre the pretender
E
What if I say that Iʼll never surrender?

G#m
What if I say Iʼm not like the others?
B                                   C#
What if I say Iʼm not just another one of your plays?
Youʼre the pretender
E
What if I say that Iʼll never surrender?

Verse:
G#m
In time or so iʼm told
B                          C#           E
Iʼm just another soul for sale... oh, well
G#m
The page is out of print
B
We are not permanent
C#
Weʼre temporary, temporary
E
Same old story

Chorus:
G#m
What if I say Iʼm not like the others?
B                                   C#
What if I say Iʼm not just another one of your plays?
Youʼre the pretender
E
What if I say that Iʼll never surrender?

G#m
What if I say Iʼm not like the others?
B                                   C#

Youʼre the pretender
E
What if I say that Iʼll never surrender?

Verse:
G#m
Iʼm the voice inside your head
B
You refuse to hear
G#m
Iʼm the face that you have to face
B
Mirrored in your stare
G#m
Iʼm whatʼs left, Iʼm whatʼs right
B
Iʼm the enemy
G#m
Iʼm the hand that will take you down
B
Bring you to your knees
C#
So who are you?
E
Yeah, who are you?
C#
Yeah, who are you?
E
Yeah, who are you?
G#m                B
Keep you in the dark
               C#     E
You know they all pretend
