about

Sometimes it just happens, you walk into a room, meet someone special and sparks fly. Both of you know if things were different, you'd make time for one another. I always imagined this song being sung as a duet by Dolly Parton and Porter Waggoner. Here, I can get to have a duet with the amazing Melissa Stark. Originally written 11 Feb 2008. Special shout out to Susan Werner for the line change suggestion. Don't you love the DmMaj7 chord?

lyrics

C Dm DmMaj7
Let’s pretend, let’s pretend we’re in love
F Dm G7
Let’s pretend we don’t need nobody else, keep each other to ourselves
C
Let’s pretend we’re in love.

VERSE 1
E7 C Dm DmMaj7
When I first met you, I found the love of my life
F Dm G7
And if things we’re different somehow, I’d make you my wife.

VERSE 2
C Dm DmMaj7
Yes, I keep on lovin’ you, hoping one day you’ll see.
F Dm G7
That our time together, was more than make believe.

BRIDGE
Em7b7 A7
I miss the heartache of you in my life
Dm G7
I miss the troubling times, the drama and the strife.
C Dm DmMaj7
See I just can’t be alone, while you’re out on the run.
F G7 C
So let’s pretend we’re together, let’s pretend we’re in love.

CHORUS then BREAK over CHORUS

VERSE 3
E7 C Dm DmMaj7
Just because you love somebody else, and you have that ring on your hand.
F Dm G7
It don’t mean we can’t think of each other, as woman and man.

VERSE 4 C Dm DmMaj7
Let the others say what they will, you and I know it’s true
F Dm C
When I’m somebody else, I’m thinking of you.
