[Verse 1]
E B7
Does she know? Is it so?
E A
Is she on to my whole show?
E B7
If anything, I should have told her long ago
E B7
But she smiles and I go wild
E A
No, it ain’t love, but I’m inspired
E B7 E
Take me home, oh little darling, take me home
[Chorus]
A
But I hope that you remember
E
When our fires turn to embers
B7
That if you me found kind and tender
N.C. E B7
It may hurt when you realize that I am the great pretender
[Verse 2]
E B7
So my dear, please don’t fear
E A
That I wish to be unclear
E B7
But the drinks do adjust my disposition
E B7
But I will try to be so kind
E A
And we can love a little lie
E B7 E
Oh can’t you see, the yearning in my eyes?
[Chorus]
A
But I hope that you remember
E
When our fires turn to embers
B7
That if you found me kind and tender
E B7
It may hurt when you realize that I am the great pretender

[Verse 3]
E B7
Oh, I met her late at night
E A
She said, “Darling, can I get a light?”
E B7
Oh, just as pretty as anything I’d seen before
E B7
When I awoke, she was gone
E A
But a note was on the phone
E B7 E
And written down was this message to me
[Chorus]
A
Oh, I hope that you remember
E
When our fire has turned to embers
B7
That if you found me kind and tender
E6
It may hurt when you realize that I am the great pretender
