Pretender
Foo Fighers
This is a simplified version of the song that I created for n 8-year-old student. It's played on just the 6th string. Instead of chord names, only the 6th string fret number is provided.
Playing a bass line on the 6th string is the easiest way to play a song on guitar--perfect for total beginners or kids who want to sing and play at the same time.

The need you buried deep
10 (2) 1 (2)
The secrets that you keep are ever ready. Are you ready?
5 (4)
I'm finished making sense, done pleading ignorance
10 (2) 1 (2)
That whole defense

Spinning infinity, boy, The wheel is spinning me
10 (2) 1 (2)
It's never-ending, never-ending
10 (2 walkup)
Same old story
Chorus:
5 (4)
What if I say I'm not like the others?
(10) (2)
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? You're the pretender

What if I say that I'll never surrender?

What if I say I'm not like the others?

5 (4)
In time or so I'm told
10 (2) 1 (2)
I'm just another soul for sale, oh well

The page is out of print, we are not permanent

We're temporary, temporary

Same old story
Chorus

/ 5 - - - / x4
5 (20)
I'm the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face
Mirrored in your stare
I'm what's left, I'm what's right
I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that will take you down
Bring you to your knees
So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
5 (4)
Keep you in the dark
10 (2) 1 (2)
You know they all pretend
Chorus x2

So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
End on 5
