"Let's Pretend"
(Eric Carmen)
Verse 1:
I can't sleep nights
CaddD/
Wishing you were here beside me
Can't help feelin'
That's the way it ought to be
/
You know we could run (run, run away)
/
But I couldn't bear to hear the things they'd say, oh no
Chorus:
/
Baby, let's pretend that tonight could live forever
FaddG CaddD /
If we close our eyes and believe it might come true
/
Baby, let's pretend we could always [1,4: be 2,3: live] together
FaddG
But for now just let me spend the night with you
[1: CaddD /D; to verse 2]
[2: to bridge]
[3, 4: CaddD /D; repeat]
Verse 2:
Somehow, someday
Things are gonna be so different
Don't cry, some way
I promise it'll be all right
So now that we're all alone
I couldn't bear to leave to take you home, oh no
[repeat chorus]
Bridge:
So take me now, my love can't wait
/
We're almost there now, darlin', darlin'
Hold me (hold me), hold me (hold me)
FaddG
Ho-oh-old me
[repeat chorus to end; start to fade 2nd time]
