My Prayer
Tom: Bbm
                          Ebm  F7
When the twilight is gone

And no song bird is singing
                          Ebm  F7
When the twilight is gone
                       Bbm
You come into my heart

In a dream that is divine

My prayer is a rapture in blue

With the world far away

And your lips close to mine

Tonight

For as long as we live

That you'll always be there

The Great Pretender
Tom: G
       G             D       G       G7      C                 G - G7
1. Oh yes, I'm the Great Pretender,      pretending I'm doing well.
         C      D          G        C         G          D          G - D
    My need is such, I pretend too much, I'm lonely but no one can tell.
       G             D       G       G7     C                      G - G7
2. Oh yes, I'm the great pretender,      adrift in a world  of my own.
        C        D           G        C            G           D         G - G7
    I play the game, but to my real shame, you've left me to dream all alone.
         C                       G            G7
    Too real is this feeling of make believe,
         C                         G             D
    too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal.
       G              D      G      G7        C                        G - G7
3. Oh yes, I'm the great pretender,     just laughing and gay like a clown.
       C       D            G        C
    I seem to be, what I'm not, you see,
         G          D             B7       G            D             G  - G7
    I'm wearing my heart like a crown, pretending that you're still around.  
         C                       G              G7
    Too real is this feeling of make believe,
          C                        G             D
    too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal.
       G             D        G       G7        C                        G - G7
4. Oh yes, I'm the great  pretender,      just laughing and gay like a clown.
      C      D            G        C        G          D            B7
  I seem to be, what I'm not, you see, I'm wearing my heart like a crown,
        G            D             B7
    pretending that you're still around, 
        G             D             G  - C - G
    pretending that you're still around.

 

Smoke gets in your Eyes
Tom: D
    D    Bm              Em    A                D    Bm   G 
1. They asked me how I knew, my true love was true, oh, oh,
    Em              F#m   B7              Em    A            D  - Bm-Em-A
    I of course replied, something here inside cannot be denied.
     D    Bm                    Em    A               D     Bm  G
    They said, someday you'll find all who love are blind, oh, oh, 
      e                   F#m  B7           Em     A                 D
    when your heart's on fire, you must realize smoke gets in your eyes.
    - G - D - F
    Bb
    So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed,
                          F    E  F
    to think they could doubt my love.
    Bb                     Gm
    Yet today my love has flown away, 
             D    Bm  Em   - A
    I am without my love.
    D   Bm                Em     A             D    Bm   G
2. Now laughing friends deride tears I cannot hide, oh, oh
    Em             F#m    B7                 Em
    so I smile and say, when a lovely flame dies, 
      A                 D          Em
    smoke gets in your eyes, your eyes,
      D                 Em         G    Em  G    D
    smoke gets in your eyes, smoke gets in your eyes.
