Intro: C - Dm7 - G7
(N.C.) G7 G7+ C B7 C
Pretend you're happy when you're blue;
C/B Dm A7 Dm
It isn't very hard to do
F Dm7 G7
And you'll find happiness without an end
F G7 C B7 G7
Whenever you pretend.
(N.C.) G7 G7+ C B7 C
Remember anyone can dream,
C/B Dm A7 Dm
And nothing's bad as it may seem;
F Dm7 G7
The little things you haven't got
F G7 C Dm7 C
Could be a lot if you pretend.
Bridge:
Em F
You'll find a love you can share,
Cdim C6 G7 C6
One you can call all your own;
Am6 B7 F#m7 B7
Just close your eyes, she'll be there --
Em Cdim G7
You'll never be alone.
(N.C.) G7 G7+ C B7 C
And if you sing this melody,
C/B Dm A7 Dm
You'll be pretending just like me.
F Dm7 G7
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend,
F G7 G7+ C Cdim G7
So why don't you pretend?

The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend,

So why don't you pretend?
