Pretned (Simple version) By Cassie Steele Standard Tuning, no capo. 
GI know that you are angry and think I could feel bad, 
But I gavCadd9e you everything and shared anything I had
I knEmow you say I'm angry and maybe thDis is true
But I was Cadd9never angry for something you didn't do
DCause you take, Gtake, take
You think nobody would suspeCadd9ct someone naiveG  
But you're juDsusst as fakeCadd9  
And self-entitled as the neEmxt girl on the street
DWoah oh oh oh ohDsus  
GYou were my friend
DmBut from a hallway distance
CYou never let Emme in
DSo how were we frienDsusds?
And if I Gput you down
DmThen why'd you stick arounGd?
I think I fiEmgured it out
DEveryone should know it nowDsus  Cadd9  Am  G  
(G)
I know that you are sad, but so is everyone
Cadd9We all feel like the world owes us for everything it's done
EmI know you think I'm crazy, but Djust as much as you
Cause I Cadd9know that inside your brain you're smarter than what you do
DCaDsususe you takeG, take, take
You think nobody would suspecCadd9t someone naiveG  
But you're jDsusust as faCadd9ke
And as unhappy as that nexEmt girl on the street
DWoah oh oh oh Dsusoh
