Chords for Jackson Browne - The Pretender

SBC, going beyond the call.
[F#] Now a full hour with Jackson Brown.
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] I'm gonna rent myself a house
In the shade of [B] the freeway
_ _ _ _ [F#] Gonna pack my lunch in the morning
_ And go [C#] to work each _ [B] day
I've been [F#]
dealing all [B] around
_ [F#] I'll go on home and lay my body [B] down
_ [F#] The morning light [C#] comes streaming in
I'll get up and [B] do it again
[F#] _ [G#m] _ Amen, say it [B] again, _ amen
[F#] _ _ [C#] I [F#] wanna know what became of the change
We waited [B] for love to bring
_ _ _ [F#] Well, they only need a fitful dream
Of some greater [C#] _
awakening
_ [B] _ _ [F#] I've been aware of the time going [B] by
_ [F#] They say in the end it's to wake up at [B] night
_ [F#] And when the morning light [C#] comes streaming in
We'll get up [B] and do it [F#] again
_ Yeah, yeah, [B] [F#] yeah _
_ _ Caught between [C#] the longing for love
[B] And the struggle [C#m] for the legal [D#m] tender _ _
_ [A#] _ _ Where [B] the sirens sing
And the church bells ring
[D#m] And the junk man pounds his fender
_ Where [B] the veterans dream of [F#] the fight
Fast [A#] asleep at the traffic [D#m] light
_ And the [G#] _ children's song will [A#] be awake
For the ice cream [C#] vendor _
_ _ Out into [B] the cool of the evening
_ [C#] _ Strolls the [D#m] pretender
He _ _ _ [A#] _ [B] knows that all his hopes and [C#] dreams
_ Begin [F#] and end there
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ All the _ _ voices they [F#] run through the night _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ Leaving _ nothing but [D#m] pictures of men fighting _
_ [A#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ While the [F#] ships bearing [D#m] their dreams
Sail on [C#] a star _
_ _ _ _ I'm gonna find myself a girl
Who can show [B] me what laughter means
And _ [F#] we'll fill in the missing colors
In each [C#] other's paint-by-number dreams
[B] _ We'll [F#] put our dollar glasses [B] on
_ And we'll [F#] make love until our [B] strength is gone
And when [F#] the morning light comes [C#] streaming in
We'll get up [B] and do it again
_ [F#] _ _ Get [B] up again
[F#] _
I'm _ _ gonna [C#] be a happy idiot
[B] And struggle for the legal [A#m] tender _ _
_ [A#] _ _ _ [B] Where the essay came
And led that claim
[D#m] To the heart and the soul of this family
And [B] in the evening we'll have a man [F#] of mine
And those [A#] things that money can [D#m] buy
_ [G#] Though true _ _ [F#] love could have been a [C#] contender _ _
_ _ _ Are [B] you there? _
[C#] Say a prayer for the [A#m] pretender _
_ _ _ [F#] Who [B] started out so young and strong
[C#] _ Only to [F#] _ surrender
_ _ _ Say a prayer _
Say a prayer for [B] the pretender _
_ _ _ [F#] _ Are you there? _
