Pretend Tab

I know this is 100% correct; I've played it with the song and it sounds extremely accurate.

STANDARD TUNING, NO CAPO

INTRO: 

         (x2)


VERSE:

                              
Once in a while I act like a child
                           
To feel like a kid again
                                                  
It gets like a prison in the body I'm living in
                    
Cause everyone's watching
                        
And quick to start talking
                     
I'm losing my innocence
                                                                      
Wish I were a little girl without the weight of the world


CHORUS:
                                  
It would be nice to start over again
              
Before we were men
              
I've give my bend
   
Lets play pretend



INTERLUDE:
          



VERSE:
               
Remember the times
                 
We had soda for wine
                      
And got by on gratitude
                      
The worst they could do to you
                     
Was check your attitude

                            
Yeah, when fights were for fun
                   
We had water for guns
                                   
And a place we could call our own

How we lost hold of that
                       
I guess I'll never know



CHORUS:
                                  
It would be nice to start over again
              
Before we were men
              
I've give my bend
                  
Lets play pretend
                     
And when it's the end
                    
Our lives will make sense
                   
We'll love, we'll bend
                            
Let's play pretend
                            
    Lets play pretend
                   
It's not gonna be long
                    
Before we're all gone
                            
With nothing to show for them
               
Stop taking lives, come on
                    
Lets all grow up again

(Chorus repeat x2 if not reprise version)
