Pretend That You're Alone

Tom: D
Intro: (A4  B4  G9) 2x
        B4  A4

VERSE:
D                            F#m              G
We are just the monkeys, who fell out of the trees
       D                      F#m  Em7
We are blisters on the earth
D                                  F#m       G
We are not the flowers, we're the strangling weeds
        D      F#m   Em7
In the meadow

    D                               F#m           G
And love is just our way of looking out for ourselves
              D                   F#m   Em7
When we don't want to live alone
    D                     F#m          G
So step into the vacuum, tear off your clothes
       D            F#m   Em7
And be born again

CHORUS:
   A4
Pretend that you're alone now
    B4        G9
And everything's gone
     A4
Just animal reflex
        B4          G9
There's no one looking on
   A4
Forget about fashion
   B4          G4
Forget about the law
A4
Pretend that you're alone now

VERSE:
D                                 F#m           G
I wonder what I'd do, if I could wake up every morning
        D            F#m  Em7
With a clean slate
    D                            F#m               G
I'd burn through the cities, I'd tear through the towns
                D             F#m  Em7
Cos there's no deals to make
          D                     F#m       G
So break out of the cages, the delicate structures
            D               F#m  Em7
We cling to all our lives
        D                         F#m             G
Cos we are just the monkeys, who fell out of the trees
              D                 F#m   Em7
When we were trying to fly

CHORUS:
   A4
Pretend that you're alone now
    B4        G9
And everything's gone
     A4
Just primal desire
    B4        G9
No right and no wrong
   A4
Forget about the future
   B4     G4
Forget about blame
A4                         (G9)
Pretend that you're alone now
A4
Pretend that you're alone now

BRIDGE (SOLO played over):
D      F#m  G           D
She's not  waiting for tomorrow
    F#m         Em          D
And she has no love in her eyes
G  A     F#m                    Em
Oh no, I wanna come down right now
     G  A     F#m                    A4     B4   G9
But oh no(?), I wanna get out right now

CHORUS:
   A4
Pretend that you're alone now
    B4        G9
And everything's gone
     A4
Just animal reflex
        B4          G9
There's no one looking on
   A4
Forget about religion
   B4     G4
Forget about shame
A4
Pretend that you're alone now


CHORUS:
   A4
No numbers in your phone now
         B4        G9
There's nothing going on
     A4
Just primal desire
    B4        G9
No right and no wrong
   A4
Forget about fashion
   B4     G9
Forget about fame
A4                         (G9)
Pretend that you're alone now
A4                         (G9)
Pretend that you're alone now
A4                         (G9)
Pretend that you're alone now
