[Verse 1]
GThrough the corridors of Bm7sleep
Past the Cshadows dark anGd deep
BmMy mind dances and leaps Cin confusioGn.C  G  
GI dont know what is realBm,
I can't Ctouch what I feeGl
And I hiBmde behind the shCield of my illusGion.
[Chorus]
DSo I'll Ccontinue to contGinue to pretendEm  
Am7My life will never eEmnd,
And floAwers never bCend
With the raiGsus4nfall.G  
[Verse 2]
GThe mirror on my Bm7wall
Casts an Cimage dark and Gsmall
BmBut Im not sure at Call its my reflecGtion.C  G  
GI am blinded by Bm7the light
OCf God and truth and riGght
And I waBmnder in the Cnight without directGion.C  G  
[Chorus]
DSo I'll Ccontinue to contGinue to pretendEm  
Am7My life will never eEmnd,
And floAwers never bCend
With the raiGsus4nfall.G  
[Verse 3]
Its nGo matter if youre bBm7orn
To play Cthe king or pawnG  
For thBme line is thinly dCrawn tween joy and sorroGw,C  G  
GSo my faBm7ntasy
BCecomes realGity
And I muBmst be what I musCt be and face toGmorrow.C  G  
[Chorus]
DSo I'll Ccontinue to contGinue to pretendEm  
Am7My life will never eEmnd,
And floAwers never bCend
With the raiGsus4nfall.G
