Capo III
[Intro]
G, C  
[Verse]
If you Gcry, make sure that they can Chear
And if you Glaugh, draw your enemies Cnear
And if you Gfind yourself somewhere between Cdark and belief
EmRemember, remember to think on your Cknees
[Chorus]
CNever trust that man who’s been Gsmiling on his life
CHis fears will catch up in the Gend
CHe’s standing tall while the Grest of us are blind
Oh Embrother; it’s all just preDtend
It’s all just preGtend
[Verse]
GAnd if you run, run so nobody can catch Cup
And if you Gdrink, you’d better see the bottom of that Ccup
And if you Glose your mind, make sure your friends can get it Cback
And can you Emfind all the beauty in the pain that we Chave
DAnd all we’ve been doing is Cpainting our faces
EmTaking our lives to the Cgrave
DDrowning our thoughts with our Cweak information
EmWishing we had something more to Cgive
[Chorus]
CNever trust that man who’s been Gsmiling on his life
CHis fears will catch up in the Gend
CHe’s standing tall while the Grest of us are blind
Oh Embrother; it’s all just preDtend
It’s all just …
[Verse]
… the Cthings that we wished for when Gwe planned our lives
But it’s Embeen hard to live and it’s Dbeen hard to die
We’ve Cseen separation from Gwhat once was clear
BeEmlieving ourselves there was Dnothing to fear
[Solo]
C, G, Em,  Dx2
[Chorus]
CNever trust that man who’s been Gsmiling on his life
CHis fears will catch up in the Gend
CHe’s standing tall while the Grest of us are blind
Oh Embrother; it’s all just preDtend
Oh Embrother; it’s all just preDtend
Oh Embrother; it’s all just preDtend
It’s all just preGtend
