Verse
F
Back when we were simple young
Dm
Always chasing for the sun
Gm Cdim
We were the two best of buds
F
Then adolescence came by my way and
Dm
Love was rushing right through my veins
Gm Cdim
Every time I saw her
[Pre-chorus]
A# A#m
And I fell down
F
Wasting my thoughts
A# A#m F
On what ifs and hows
C
Why now
[Chorus]
F Dm
She don't make this thing easy
Gm Cdim
My hopes are filled to the brim
F Dm
But I know she’ll never see me as
Gm Cdim
Anything more than a friend
A# A#m F
So I’ll just keep playing pretend
[Verse 2]
F
I know I'm usually not one to brag
Dm
But I'm tryna fix what I lack
Gm Cdim
But she don't notice at all
F
I wanna be something more than friends
Dm
The pair with that happy end
Gm Cdim
But maybe this thing will all blow
[Pre-chorus]
A# A#m
So I'm falling down
F
Wasting my thoughts
A# A#m
On what ifs and hows
C
What now
[Chorus]
F Dm
She don't make this thing easy
Gm Cdim
My hopes are filled to the brim
F Dm
But I know she’ll never see me as
Gm Cdim
Anything more than a friend
A#m A#m F
So I’ll just keep playing pretend
C7 D#6 Gm7 Cm(b5)
F C7 D#6 A# A#m6
[Ending]
F Dm
This thing was never easy
Gm Cdim
My hopes spilled over the brim
F Dm
All I can say now is sorry
Gm Cdim
For bringing us to an end
A#m A#m F
I should've kept playing pretend
