Piano intro, a few drum hits, then guitar solo around verse chords (lick 1*)

* lick 1 = E D B A G E E (octave lower)
* lick 2 = A B D B G D E
Notes: <E5> may be <E> maj or <E> min, it isn't clear. The rythm plays <E5> and
the solo sometimes plays major 3rd sometimes minor 3rd.
Also, the its not clear if the <Em7> is an <Em7> or a <G> with an <E> in the bass.
I find that these ambiguities are part of the appeal of the song.

Teksto

 E5
How many times must we tell the tale?
 G/E
How many times must we fall?
 A/E
Living in lost memory
            E5
You just recalled (lick 1, guitar only)
Working on the sound of the band (2 part harmony)
Trying to get the music right
Two go out working
Three stay home at night (lick 2)

 A               E               D
That's when she said she was pretending
 A        E        D
Like she knew the plan
 A             E               D
That's when I knew she was pretending
    A          E         D
Pretending to understand
    E5          Em7
Pretending, pretending
    A           E
Pretending, pretending
(2nd time, repeat 'pretending' part before solo)

(second time guitar solo here)

Satisfied but lost in love (2 part harmony)
Situations change          (2 part harmony)
You're never who you used to think you are
How strange (lick 2)

Chorus

I get lost in alibis
Sadness can't prevail
Everybody knows strong love
Can't fail (lick 2)
Don't be pretending about how you feel     (3 part harmony when singing)
Don't be pretending that your love is real (the word 'pretending')
Don't be pretending about how you feel
Don't be pretending that your love is real
 E5          Em7
Pretending, pretending
 A           E5
Pretending, pretending
