Cant We Pretend

Tom: Am

C            Em            Am
Summer everybody's coming home
Dm                              F              Fm
And I'm lying in my old bedroom again on my own
C               Em              Am
Listen to the car's passing outside
   Dm                                  F
Remember Adam crashed his car into the tree
            Fm
But somehow he survived

C               Em                 Am
Then the next night you walked me home
           Dm
We'd been drinkin' underage and
           F               Fm
you said do you think our parents know

[Chorus]
C        Em             Am
We hid a bottle in the trees
        Dm
Oh, we couldn't find it later
           F                   Fm
Guess the neighbour's getting drunk for free
C Em Am
        Dm
No, we couldn't find it later
           F                  Fm
Guess the neighbour's getting drunk on me

[Verse 2]
C               Em         Am
Some days are quiet in my mind
      Dm
It's not that l don't miss you
             F                  Fm
I have just lived this distance for some time

C                    Em             Am
I still think about that September night
Dm
Sitting on an empty pier
F
Nobody will find us here
C       Em             Am
We were dreaming about where we both would go
          Dm
You pointed out across the ocean
       F            Fm
Oh, I wonder now if I had known

[Chorus]
C                Em              Am
When we hid that bottle in the trees
        Dm
That we wouldn't find it later
           F                   Fm
Guess the neighbour's getting drunk for free
C Em Am
        Dm
No, we wouldn't find it later
           F                  Fm
Guess the neighbour's getting drunk on me

[Verse 3]
C            Em                Am
You waved at me from the front door
           Dm
I told you I'd be home for Christmas
          F               Fm
I've been gone for 6 years more
C           Em                Am
You know I meant to call you back
           Dm
It gets so busy in this city
      F          Fm
You expect me to keep track
C     Em         Am
It's raining in New York too
Dm                         F            Fm
That doesn't mean I'm any closer to you

[Outro]
       C    Em       Am
If I can't be your friend
         Dm
I don't need you to believe me, oh
     F              Fm
But can't we still pretend

       C    Em       Am
If I can't be your friend
         Dm
I don't need you to forgive me, oh
     F              Fm
But can't we still pretend

       C    Em       Am
If I can't be your friend
         Dm
I don't need you to believe me, oh
     F              Fm
But can't we still pretend

       C    Em       Am
If I can't be your friend
         Dm
I don't need you to forgive me,
         F           Fm
I don't need you to forgive me
