       D                A  
I'm pretending that you still love me  
       E                       A   
I'm pretending what never will be 
          D                   A 
You don't want me but I can't tell  
             E                    A 
Cause I'm pretending like I do so well 
 
 
            E                    A 
I should forget you, I should be tough 
              E                         A 
I should move on now, find myself a new love 
        D                            E 
I can't face it yet, I'm not strong enough
