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
