C                       Am                             Bb
In the stillness of the night my eyes are closed. 
              G
My mouth is wide. 
C                 Am
I could see her face. 
              Bb                   G
Her beautiful hair I could recognize. 

F               C
She looks at me cold. 
                   Am               Bb     G
She probably don't know who I am. 
           
C           Am               Bb
Mommy it is me, it's Keith. 
                G               F
You had me back when... 

                        C                 Am                 Bb         G
But sometimes I like to pretend, that she knows me, that she holds me.
                    C                 Am                 Bb             G
Sometimes I like to pretend, that she knows me, that she holds me. 
          F                                    C
I guess I can't, 'cause she doesn't know who I am. 


My mind it's dreaming, God it's so misleading. 

Do you think it's 'cause I've grown old. 
Is it true that what I was told? 
You cried to leave me? 

You know I know it's not your fault. 
You had a husband now you're selfish and cold. 
Believe me I know. 

G                                   E
And now I hear you used to treat me cold. 
         F
You disappeared and left me all alone. 
G                                   E
I'm sure you didn't know right from wrong. 
                        F                       F
'cause both of you were always getting stoned. 

But sometimes I like to pretend. 
But sometimes I like to pretend, that she knows me 
Sometimes I like to pretend, that she holds me.
