Chords for Jackson Browne-The Pretender-with lyrics

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm gonna rip myself a house in the shade of [C] a [G] freeway.
_ _ [C] _
_ [G] Gonna pack my lunch in the morning and [D] go to _ work each [C] day. _
And [G] when the evening rolls [C] around, _ [G] I'll go on home and lay my [C] body down.
_ [G] And when the morning light [D] comes streaming in, I'll get up [C] and do it [G] again.
_ [Am] _ [G] Amen, say [C] it again, _ [G] _ [Am] Amen.
[G]
I _ wanna know what became of the changes we waited [C] for love to bring.
_ _ [G] Were they only the fitful dreams of some greater [D] _ awakening?
_ [C] _
_ _ [G] I've been aware of the time going [C] by.
_ They [G] say in the end, it's the wink of an [C] eye.
And [G] when the morning light comes [D] streaming in, we'll get up and [C] do it [G] again.
_ [Am] _ [G]
Amen.
_ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ [G] _
_ Caught [D] between the longing for love and the struggle for the legal [Em] tender.
_ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [F#] [C] Where the sirens [G] sing and the church bells ring [Em] and the just man pounds his fender.
The [A] _ [C] _ sons dream [G] of the flight, fast [B] asleep at the [Em] traveling light.
_ _ [A] And the children _ [G] solemnly wait for [A] the ice [D] cream vendor.
_ _ [E] _
[D] _ Out into [C] the cool of the evening [D] _
strolls the [Em] pretender. _ _ _ _
_ [C] He knows that all his hopes and [D]
dreams _ [G] begin and end _ there.
_ _ [D] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ Are the lovers as they run through [G] the night. _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ Leaving _ nothing but to choose [Em] all to fight.
_ _ [D#] _
And tear [G] up the world with all their [C] might.
_ While [Bm] the ships [G] bearing their [Em]
dreams sail on the [G] side.
_ [D] _ _
_ _ [G] I'm gonna find myself a girl who can show [C] me what laughter means.
[D] _ _ [G] And we'll fill in the missing colors _ in each [D] other's paint by number [C] dreams.
_ And we'll [G] put our dark glasses [C] on and [G] we'll make love until our [C] strength is gone.
And when [G] the morning light [D] comes streaming in, we'll get up and [C] do it [G] again.
_ [Am] _ [G] _
_ Get it up [C] again.
[G] _ _ [Am] _ [G] _
_ I'm gonna [D] be a happy idiot and struggle for the legal [Em] tender.
_ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [C] While the elves take aim and lay their claim [Em] to the heart and the soul of the spender.
_ [E] And [C] believe in whatever [G] may lie in those [B] things that [Em] money can buy.
Oh, [A] true _ love could have been [D] a contender.
_ _ [E] _ [D] _
_ [C] Are you there?
[D] Say a prayer for the [Em] pretender. _ _ _ _
_ Who started out so young and [D] strong only to [G] surrender. _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ Say a prayer [C] for the pretender. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ Are you there for [C] the pretender? _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ Say a prayer for the [C] pretender. _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ Oh, _ _ _ [C] for the pretender. _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ Say a prayer for [C] the pretender. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
