[Verse 1]
E5
How many times must we tell the tale?
G/E
How many times must we fall?
A/E
Living in lost memory
           E5
You just recalled  (lick 1, guitar only)
Working on the sound of the band (2 part harmony)
Trying to get the music right
Two go out working
Three stay home at night  (lick 2)
 
[Chorus]
A               E               D
That's when she said she was pretending
A          E        D
  Like she knew the plan
A               E               D
  That's when I knew she was pretending
   A          E         D
Pretending to understand
   E5          Em7
Pretending, pretending
   A           E
Pretending, pretending    (2nd time, repeat 'pretending' part before solo)
 
[Verse 2]
Satisfied but lost in love  (2 part harmony)
Situations change           (2 part harmony)
You're never who you used to think you are
How strange    (lick 2)
 
[Chorus]
A               E               D
That's when she said she was pretending
A          E        D
  Like she knew the plan
A               E               D
  That's when I knew she was pretending
   A          E         D
Pretending to understand
   E5          Em7
Pretending, pretending
   A           E
Pretending, pretending

I believe the song is accurate, at least it's good enough for me. I know that Eric plays the major pentatonic a lot and that as you know involves the major third. For me that's confusing but that's just me. I play by ear and if it sounds good it is; on the other hand, if it sounds bad..., it is!!
