C         Dm           C        F          G
The party was over, it was nearly a quarter to two
C            Dm            C            F               G
Hearing your voice was the last thing I thought I would do
Dm          C                F          G         Am
Seeing your face brought the pain back again just like new
Dm            C            F         G        C      Dm  C  F  G
Now I'm right back where I was, I am lost without you___


[Verse 2]
  C          Dm          C             F         G
I stood in a daze as you put your hand gently in mine
C           Dm          C            F          G
Once again, lost in the look of your love, so divine
  Dm             C            F           G        Am
I know you don't mean it, but tell me you love me again
  Dm          C         F          G         C
I know we are over, but wrap me in lies that don't end


[Chorus]
Dm            C           F             G
I'll close my eyes so you won't see the tears
Dm             C             F           G
Let's make the best of those bittersweet years
Bb           F               C  G  C
Let's pretend we are lovers again__
         Bb   F                  G  C  G
Let's pretend our romance didn't end___
Dm           C             F           G
I'll play my part, I won't ask you for more
Dm             C             F            G
Won't pull you back when you walk out the door
Bb                       F
Just let me love you for one hour more
         G  C  G               C  Dm  C  F  G
Let's pretend__ we are lovers again____


[Verse 3]
C           Dm     C           F         G
I know that I will go home without you tonight
C              Dm           C          F      G
I know there's nothing that I could do now to make it right
Dm            C              F         G             Am
Still I could dream that you never had walked out my door
Dm            C            F           G       C
Still I could dream all my life if you kiss me once more


[Pre-Chorus]
Dm            C           F             G
I'll close my eyes so you won't see the tears
Dm             C             F           G
Let's make the best of those bittersweet years
Bb           F               C  G  C
Let's pretend we are lovers again__
         Bb   F                  G  C  G
Let's pretend our romance didn't end___
Dm           C             F           G
I'll play my part, I won't ask you for more
Dm             C             F            G
Won't pull you back when you walk out the door
Bb                       F
Just let me love you for one hour more
         G  C  G               C  Dm  C
Let's pretend__ we are lovers again____


[Bridge]
Bb                      F                      C
Everyone's left for the night, the glasses are empty
Bb                    F
No one will see us, I know
Bb                                G
No one will know that I can't let you go


[Verse 4]
C           Dm           C          F          G
I've got to learn to let go and you must teach me how
C           Dm            C             F         G
I love your arms wrapped around me like this even now
Dm       C           F             G
Maybe if you give me just one more kiss
Dm              C           F            G
I'll learn it's something I really don't miss


[Chorus]      (fade to end)
Dm            C           F             G
I'll close my eyes so you won't see the tears
Dm             C             F           G
Let's make the best of those bittersweet years
Bb           F               C  G  C
Let's pretend we are lovers again__
         Bb   F                  G  C  G
Let's pretend our romance didn't end___
Dm         C          F             G
I'll slip away in the night without you
Dm              C            F           G
While I'll have something to comfort me, too
Bb                       F                        G
Just for old times, kiss me once before the night ends
         C  Bb               C   Bb
Let's pretend__ we are lovers again__
         C  Bb               C   Bb
Let's pretend__ we are lovers again__
         C  Bb               C   Bb
Let's pretend__ we are lovers again__
         C  Bb               C   Bb
Let's pretend__ we are lovers again__
         C  Bb               C   Bb
Let's pretend__ we are lovers again__
