Capo 1
E
Here you come knockin' on my heart like a sledgehammer
A E
Tearin' down these walls I built so high
E
I'm tryin' to hide the truth behind all this false glamour
A B
But somehow the truth still shows up in my eyes
Chorus:
A B
Got a smile painted on my face
A B E
Got my heartache locked away prayin' you won't see
A B
Stayin' steady, stayin' strong
A B C#m
Actin' like there's nothin' wrong 'til you look at me
A
Won't win this fight I surrender
B E
So turn another page of this pretender
Sometimes I think I put it all behind me and I'm finally healing
If you judge a book by it's cover then I'm alright
For a moment I find some piece of mind that my heart is stealing
Looks like I'm livin' it up but I'm dyin' down deep inside
Oh yeah
Chorus
Won't win this fight I surrender
Mmm Mmm turn another page of this pretender
Pretender, still your pretender
Turn another page
Pretender, still your pretender
I'm livin' a lie I can't deny it
Pretender, still your pretender
It's never ending, I'm always pretending
Pretender, still your pretender
