Intro: F Bb C7
       
       F           Bb        F     F7
Oh-oh, yes I'm the great pretender
   Bb            C7        F   F7
Pretending that I'm doing well
   Bb       C7        F        Bb
My need is such I pretend too much
    F          C7         F
I'm lonely but no one can tell


       F           Bb        F     F7
Oh-oh, yes I'm the great pretender
 Bb          C7          F  F7
Adrift in a world of my own
     Bb          C7             F     Bb
I've played the game but to my real shame
       F          C7          F   F7
You've left me to grieve all alone


    Bb            C7         F           F7
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
    Bb           C7           F              C7
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal


F            Bb        F     F7
Yes, I'm the great pretender
     Bb            C7         F    F7
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
  Bb       C7          F        Bb
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
    F          C7           F7
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
   F            C7            F    F7
Pretending that you're still around


    Bb            C7         F           F7
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
    Bb           C7           F              C7
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal


F            Bb        F     F7
Yes, I'm the great pretender
     Bb            C7         F    F7
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
  Bb       C7          F        Bb
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
    F          C7           F7
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
   F            C7            F        Bb      F
Pretending that you're still around,   still around

Biography

The Platters were a successful black vocal group of the early rock n roll era. Their distinctive sound was a bridge between the pre-rock n roll Tin Pan Alley tradition of the Ink Spots and the Mills Brothers and the explosion of teenage music in the mid 1950s. The most successful incarnation of the group comprised lead tenor Tony Williams, David Lynch, Paul Robi, Herb Reed, and Zola Taylor.

The Platters formed in Los Angeles, CA, USA in 1953 and were initially managed by Ralph Bass.
