Verse 1

G              C                       G
My days are so lonely my nights are so blue
                   D7                   G
Though my heart is broken it belongs to you
              C                       G
Of misery and sorrow well I've had my share
                D7                   G
Like you I'm pretending that I don't care

Verse 2

                                     D7
You pretend to be happy gay and care free
                                           G
But I know that somehow you still think of me
                                      D7
Just being without you I can't hardly bear
                                     G
Like you I'm pretending that I don't care

Verse 3

                                   D7
I pray for the power to forget and forgive
                                       G
That you ever hurt me the way that you did
                                                D7
Oh I shouldn't want you but the feeling's still there
                                     G
Like you I'm pretending that I don't care
