Somewhere between the here and now

Heartaches begin

I'll just pretend

I'll just pretend
[Chorus]

Pretending you still love me

The way you used to do
F Em Am
Pretending that the prom-i-ses
D7 G
You made will still come true
F G G G
They still come true
C F G7 C
And if by chance we meet again
F C
We'll smile and then

I'll just pretend

I can't convince this heart of mine
