Verse:  Cmx3,  C  D  
Chorus:  Cm   Am   Csus2   Cx2,  Am   D  C  
i'll stand, and you'll go
it's your turn but you dont know
that these things will last forever
it's your way, it's your time
and you hide what you deny
and you've been like this forever
i hope you change
[CHORUS]
you pretend that you're lovely
you pretend that you love me
and i will always hear you out
you pretend that you're lovely 
you pretend that you love me
instead you'll let your heart grow old
i've seen the way you move
you seem intelligent
you'd think i'd figure it out
by now i've had enough
it's all i can stand 
i'm leaving this forever
[CHORUS]
you never explain it
the way you are
and most things that happen seem to fall apart
and when all of your troubles seem to go away
you'll know who to believe
[CHORUS]

Chorus: x2,

i'll stand, and you'll go

it's your turn but you dont know

that these things will last forever

it's your way, it's your time

and you hide what you deny

and you've been like this forever

i hope you change

[CHORUS]

you pretend that you're lovely

you pretend that you love me

and i will always hear you out

you pretend that you're lovely

you pretend that you love me

instead you'll let your heart grow old

i've seen the way you move

you seem intelligent

you'd think i'd figure it out

by now i've had enough

it's all i can stand

i'm leaving this forever

[CHORUS]

you never explain it

the way you are

and most things that happen seem to fall apart

and when all of your troubles seem to go away

you'll know who to believe
