VERSE:
 G       F             C        C F
Well if money makes a rich man
 F                           Bb  Bb F G
Then I might never make the grade

 G          F            C    C F
I'll be a small time operator
F                           Bb  Bb F G
If I just get the landlord paid

 G      F              C     C F
But if time is an indication
F                           Bb  Bb F G
Of the wealth that I never knew

 G            F                     C      C F
Then I'm the last of the big time spenders
   F                              Bb
'Cause I've been spending time on you, 

 D             G   
Wooo  woo woo woo 


CHORUS:
G D                            G D
   It takes time to appreciate
                                        G  C
Lord knows that you can learn to hate it

             Bm                   Am   
I believe, 'cause I've been there too

G D                                 G D
   When it gets down to desperation
                                  G C
You make the best of the situation

             Bm           Am
I can tell, I've seen it thru, 
D       G
Oh, oh, oh


VERSE:
  G         F                    C     C F
Though it seems like the day is wasted
 F                           Bb  Bb F G
And the nights have been overdue

 G             F                     C      C F
Well, I'm the last of the big time spenders
 F                             Bb
And I've been spendin' time on you

Wooo  woo woo woo

CHORUS:
G D                                        G D
   It's been so long since we got together
                                   G C
In between it seems to take forever
                   Bm             Am
But I'm a dreamer, I'll be there soon

G D                           G D
   It takes time to appreciate
                                       G C
All of those that you can learn to hate
           Bm            Am
I believe, I've seen it thru, 

D             G       C   G
Oh, oh, oooh, oh, oh, oh

You can call me the Great Pretender
 F                        Bb  Bb F G
And in a way it might be true

G              F                     C      C F
  But I'm the last of the big time spenders
 F                             Bb
And I've been spendin' time on you, 
 D             G   
Wooo  woo woo woo
