"Let's Pretend"
(Eric Carmen)
Verse 1:
G F/G
I can't sleep nights
Am Bm C CaddD/A
Wishing you were here beside me
G F/G
Can't help feelin'
Am7 D7 G
That's the way it ought to be
B7/D# Em
You know we could run (run, run away)
D7/F# G /B C Am7 Am7/D
But I couldn't bear to hear the things they'd say, oh no
Chorus:
G Bm C /B Am7
Baby, let's pretend that tonight could live forever
FaddG Am7/D D7 G CaddD /D
If we close our eyes and believe it might come true
G Bm C /B Am7
Baby, let's pretend we could always [1,4: be 2,3: live] together
FaddG Am7/D D7 B7
But for now just let me spend the night with you
[1: CaddD /D; to verse 2]
[2: to bridge]
[3, 4: CaddD /D; repeat]
Verse 2:
Somehow, someday
Things are gonna be so different
Don't cry, some way
I promise it'll be all right
So now that we're all alone
I couldn't bear to leave to take you home, oh no
[repeat chorus]
Bridge:
C B7sus4 B7
So take me now, my love can't wait
Em G7/D
We're almost there now, darlin', darlin'
C Am
Hold me (hold me), hold me (hold me)
FaddG D7sus4
Ho-oh-old me
[repeat chorus to end; start to fade 2nd time]

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official RASPBERRIES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
