WORLD LEADER PRETEND



 {between the Em and Bm chords play this ----

  (D) -0-2-4-2-0-                  }



{intro  Em   Bm   Em   Bm  Em   Bm    G     A }



  D            G    C                 D

 I sit at my table and wage war on myself

  D   G               C                  D

 It seems like it's all...it's all for nothing

  D           G         C

 I know the barricades, and

               D             D

 I know the mortar in the wall breaks

      G                  C                 D

 I recognize the weapons, I used them well



  Em  Bm

  Em                  Bm

 This is my mistake. Let me make it good

  Em                     Bm                            G    A

 I raised the wall, and I will be the one to knock it down



 I've a rich understanding of my finest defenses

 I proclaim that claims are left unstated,

 I demand a rematch

 I decree a stalemate

 I divine my deeper motives

 I recognize the weapons

 I've practiced them well. I fitted them myself



 It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...empathize

 This is my mistake.  Let me make it good

 I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down



{I lose track of where the chords occur over the words. They just

 switch between Am and C  until the last part of this section...}



  Am            C          Am                     C

 Reach out for me and hold me tight.  Hold that memory

     Am           C           Am             A           G

 Let my machine talk to me.  Let my machine talk to me



 This is my world

 And I am the world leader pretend

 This is my life

 And this is my time

 I have been given the freedom

 To do as I see fit

 It's high time I've razed the walls

 That I've constructed



 It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...emapathize

 This is my mistake. Let me make it good

 I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down



 You fill in the mortar. You fill in the harmony

 You fill in the mortar. I raised the walls

 And I'm the only one

 I will be the one to knock it down



{end on Em}
