Tom: G
G, C
[Verse]
G C
If you cry, make sure that they can hear
G C
And if you laugh, draw your enemies near
G C
And if you find yourself somewhere between dark and belief
Em C
Remember, remember to think on your knees
[Chorus]
C G
Never trust that man who’s been smiling on his life
C G
His fears will catch up in the end
C G
He’s standing tall while the rest of us are blind
Em D
Oh brother; it’s all just pretend
G
It’s all just pretend
[Verse]
G C
And if you run, run so nobody can catch up
G C
And if you drink, you’d better see the bottom of that cup
G C
And if you lose your mind, make sure your friends can get it back
Em C
And can you find all the beauty in the pain that we have
D C
And all we’ve been doing is painting our faces
Em C
Taking our lives to the grave
D C
Drowning our thoughts with our weak information
Em C
Wishing we had something more to give
[Chorus]
C G
Never trust that man who’s been smiling on his life
C G
His fears will catch up in the end
C G
He’s standing tall while the rest of us are blind
Em D
Oh brother; it’s all just pretend
It’s all just …
[Verse]
C G
… the things that we wished for when we planned our lives
Em D
But it’s been hard to live and it’s been hard to die
C G
We’ve seen separation from what once was clear
Em D
Believing ourselves there was nothing to fear
[Solo]
C, G, Em, D x2
[Chorus]
C G
Never trust that man who’s been smiling on his life
C G
His fears will catch up in the end
C G
He’s standing tall while the rest of us are blind
Em D
Oh brother; it’s all just pretend
Em D
Oh brother; it’s all just pretend
Em D
Oh brother; it’s all just pretend
G
It’s all just pretend
