Knuckle Puck - Pretense Chords

Intro: Bb Gm F Eb


Verse 1:
Bb
  I’ll take it inward
          Gm
so no one sees while
you find slumber on
        F
tops of trees And
after all of this I
 Eb
still find it hard
   Bb
to breathe I taught
myself things you
      Gm
never did You need
a spine like I need
     F
new skin but neither
          Eb
will ever happen.

Gm         F
  How dare you guilt
Eb
me for not sticking
             Gm
around as if you

ever did for me?
Gm
  I’ll leave you
       F
in the dark with a
       Eb

Bb
  I will not follow
        Gm
in your footsteps
I’ll find a face

to call my own

because the mask
you wear is all
I’ve ever known

punished for due to

an overbearing

demeanor brought
           F
on by your own

self awareness  Your
     F
credibility is a half
      Eb
empty glass of salt
             F
water that I watched

you spill over and

over and over again

call me back
