[verse 1]
G                     Bm
I saw the face in the window
C                        G
Lighting up a cigarette
                       Bm
Smokey brown eyeshadow
                   C    
I learnt it from a woman 
                 G
on the internet
                          Bm
How the hell have you been, babe?
C                        G
Put your coat on the bed
Let me get you a cup
Bm                  C
Sip it up up, right to 
your head

[pre-chorus]
C                   D
All the people over there
                          Em
They don't seem to have a care
                     G
I'm so fucking self aware, 
it's exhausting
C                   D
And no matter how I try
                  Em
I repeat it every night, 
every night, 
every night, every night

[chorus]
    G
I'm done pretending, pretending
Am
Done pretending
Em                      
All of my heroes are way 
               C
more sad than me
              G
Am I the only one pretending, 
pretending
Am             Em
One pretending?
                             C  
Oh, who are you so afraid to be, 
                             G
to be? to be? to be? to be

[verse 2]
                        Bm
I lied about liking your dress
  C                        G
I lied about sticking around
                         Bm   
I lied about knowing the band 
                    C      
that you talked and talked 
                G
all night about
                         Bm
So take it up with the jury
       C                           G
'Cause I don't really care anymore
                                
And if you listen real close you 
 Bm                  C
might just hear the penny 
drop on the floor

[pre-chorus]
C                   D
All the people over there
                          Em
They don't seem to have a care
                     G
I'm so fucking self aware, 
it's exhausting
C                   D
And no matter how I try
                  Em
I repeat it every night, 
every night, 
every night, every night
