Sam Fender - Pretending That You’re Dead

[Intro]
D A Em G
D A Em G

[Verse 1]
D
Can’t see through my letterbox
A Em
For piles of letters
G
And I can’t get out my door
D
The bailiffs come
A
But I don’t care ’bout that
Em G D A
And everybody’s asking me tonight
Em G D A
Everybody’s asking me if I’m alright
Em G
But I don’t have the guts to say it

[Chorus]
G
Is it really her and him?
D A
Do you think that they are doin’ it?
Em G
I’m lyin’ in my empty bed
D A
Pretending that you’re dead

[Instrumental]
D A Em G

[Verse 2]
D A
I write the news from everybody’s lips
Em G
I saw you on the walkway with his hands on your hips
D A
And I called it out, and said, “With my best friend?”
Em G
You said, “You should probably leave”
D A
Tonight,
Em G D A
Everybody’s asking me if I’m alright
Em G
And I don’t have the words to say

[Chorus]
G
Is it really her and him?
D A
Do you think that they are doin’ it?
Em G
I’m lyin’ in my empty bed
D A
Pretending that you’re dead
G
Is it really her and him?
D A
Do you think that they are doin’ it?
Em G
I’m lyin’ in my empty bed
D A D A
Pretending that you’re dead

[Outro]
Em G D A
Everybody’s asking me if I’m alright
Em G D A Em
Everybody’s asking me if I’m alright
G D A Em G D
I’m not alright
