[Verse]

Can we pretend
That from now on
Dm7 Amaj7
There is no yesterday
A
Paint a portrait of tomorrow
Dm A
With no colors from today
[Chorus]
Dm A
There's a light that shine in your face sometimes
Dm7 Dm A
That takes my feeling wraps them around your need
Dm7 G7 A Amaj7
But there's shadow hiding in your heart sometimes
Dm7 Amaj7
That makes my feelings turn back in on me
[Verse]

Can we pretend

The pain is gone

And go our merry way
Paint a portrait of tomorrow

With the colors bright and gay
[Chorus]
[Próxima Parte]

Can we pretend
A
Can we pretend
A
Can we pretend
