Verse
D
Back when we were simple young
Cbm
Always chasing for the sun
Fbm Cdim
We were the two best of buds
D
Then adolescence came by my way and
Cbm
Love was rushing right through my veins
Fbm Cdim
Every time I saw her
[Pre-chorus]
G Gm
And I fell down
D
Wasting my thoughts
G Gm D
On what ifs and hows
A
Why now
[Chorus]
D Cbm
She don't make this thing easy
Fbm Cdim
My hopes are filled to the brim
D Cbm
But I know she’ll never see me as
Fbm Cdim
Anything more than a friend
G Gm D
So I’ll just keep playing pretend
[Verse 2]
D
I know I'm usually not one to brag
Cbm
But I'm tryna fix what I lack
Fbm Cdim
But she don't notice at all
D
I wanna be something more than friends
Cbm
The pair with that happy end
Fbm Cdim
But maybe this thing will all blow
[Pre-chorus]
G Gm
So I'm falling down
D
Wasting my thoughts
G Gm
On what ifs and hows
A
What now
[Chorus]
D Cbm
She don't make this thing easy
Fbm Cdim
My hopes are filled to the brim
D Cbm
But I know she’ll never see me as
Fbm Cdim
Anything more than a friend
Gm Gm D
So I’ll just keep playing pretend

D A7 C6 G Gm6
[Ending]
D Cbm
This thing was never easy
Fbm Cdim
My hopes spilled over the brim
D Cbm
All I can say now is sorry
Fbm Cdim
For bringing us to an end
Gm Gm D
I should've kept playing pretend
