[Intro 1]
[Am]
[D9/F#][F]
[Am]Keep you in the dark
You know they [D]all pretend[F]
[Am]Keep you in the dark
And so it [D]all began[F]
[Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching [D]in,
[F]again
[Am]The need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are [D]ever ready
[F]Are you rea[G]dy?

[Verse 2]
[Am]I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That [D]whole de[F]fense[G]
[Am]Spinning infinity, boy
The wheel is spinning me
It's [D]never-ending, [F]never-ending[G]
[D]Same old story

[Chorus 1]
[Am]What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another [D]one
of your plays? You're the pretender
[F]What if I say I will never surrender?
[Am]What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another [D]one
of your plays? You're the pretender
[F]What if I say that I'll never surrender?
[Am][Am]

[Verse 3]
[Am]In time or so I'm told
I'm just another soul for [D]sale,
oh [F]well[G]
[Am]The page is out of print
We are not permanent
We're [D]temporary, [F]temporary[G]
[D]Same old story

[Chorus 2]
[Am]What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another [D]one
of your plays? You're the pretender
[F]What if I say I will never surrender?
[Am]What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another [D]one
of your plays? You're the pretender
[F]What if I say that I'll never surrender?
[D]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Bridge 1]
[Am]I'm the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face
Mirrored in your stare
[Am]I'm what's left, I'm what's right
I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that will take you down
Bring you to your knees
So [Am]who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, [Am]who are you?

[Interlude 1]
Yeah, who are you?
[Am]Keep you in the dark
You know they [D]all pretend[F]

[Chorus 3]
[Am]What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another [D]one
of your plays? You're the pretender
[F]What if I say I will never surrender?
[Am]What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another [D]one
of your plays? You're the pretender
[F]What if I say that I'll never surrender?

[Chorus 4]
[Am](Keep you in the dark)
(You know they [D]all pretend)[F]
[Am](Keep you in the dark)
(You know they [D]all pre[F]tend)
[D]

[Outro 1]
So [Am]who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
