Verse 1:
You've never tried to conceal or deny
That this love is my ruin of peril and trial
All of the promises were nothing but lies
But now that you're here, why don't you stay for awhile
Verse 2:
Most of my friends have fallen under your spell
Some fell into heaven, but most fell back into hell
The beauty forgotten like the snow covered crops in the field
Where the wind knows no mercy, she howls, she reels
Chorus:
But I'm tired... of pretending
Yes I'm tired... of pretending
That I... I still care, yeah I still care
Guitar solo:
Em, G, C, Em, Em, G, C, Em (Bass and lead guitar only)
Em, G, C, Em, Em, G, C, C, Em-G, D, D, Bm, Bm (Full band)
Verse 3: (Keyboards and bass only)
And the smoke curls like a river to some forgotten land
Floating abandoned the mystery concealed
Like the moonlit shadows on the snow covered field
Em G C C *Em-G, D, D, Bm, Bm (Guitars enter at *)
Where the wind knows no mercy, and she howls, and she reels
Chorus:
But I'm tired... of pretending
Yes I'm tired... of pretending
That I... I still care, yes I still care
Trumpet solo:
Em, G, C, Em, Em, G, C, Em, Em, G, C, Em, Em, G, C, C, Em-G, end on D
