The Pretender chords
Jackson Browne
G C 2x
G C
I'm gonna rent myself a house in the shade of the freeway
G D C
Gonna pack my lunch in the morning, and go to work each day
G C
And when the evening rolls around,
G C
I'll go on home and lay my body down
G D
And when the morning light comes streaming in
C G Am G
I'll get up and do it again Amen
C G Am G
Say it again Amen
G
I want to know what became of the changes,
C
We waited for love to bring
G
Were they only the fitful dreams
D C
Of some greater awakening
G C
I've been aware of the time going by
G C
They say in the end it's the wink of an eye
G D
And when the morning light comes streaming in
C G Am G
I'll get up and do it again Amen
C G Am G
Say it again Amen
G D
Caught between the longing for love
C Em B7
And the struggle for the legal tender
C
Where the sirens sing and the church bells ring
Em C
And the junkman pounds his fender
G C
Where the veterans dream of the fight,
B7 Em
Fast asleep at the traffic light
A7 G D
And the children solemnly wait for the ice cream vendor
Em D C Em D
Out into the cool of the evening, strolls the pretender
C D
He knows that all his hopes an dreams
G
Begin and end there
G C G C
C G
Ah the lovers as they run through the night
C Em
Leaving nothing but to choose off and fight
D G C
And tear at the world with all their might
G Em
While the ships bearing their dreams
G D
Sail out of sight
D G
I'm gonna find myself a girl,
C
Who can show me what laughter means
G
Then we'll fill in the missing colors in each others
D C
Paint by number dreams
G C
And then we'll put our dark glasses on
G C
And we'll make love until our strength is gone
G D
And when the morning light comes streaming in
C G Am G
we'll get up and do it again Amen
C G Am G
get it up again Amen
G D C Em B7
I'm gonna be a happy idiot, and struggle for the legal tender
C
Where the ads take aim, and lay their claim
Em G
To the heart and the soul of the spender
C G
And believe in whatever may lie
B7 Em
In those things that money can buy
A7 D
Though true love could have been a contender
Em D C D Em
Are you there, say a prayer for the pretender
C D G
Who started out so young and strong only to surrender
G C Csus4
Say a prayer for the pretender
G C Csus4
Are you there for the pretender
G C Csus4
Are you prepared for the pretender
G C Csus4
Are you there for the pretender
(Csus4 = C chord + high E 3rd fret)
