  E
When she goes, she's gone,
A        E   A           G#  C#
If she stays, she stays here,
    F#                  C#
The girl does what she wants to do,
  F#                A
She knows what she wants to do!

Chorus:
    A           E       A
And I know I'm fakin' it,
                E
I'm not really makin' it!

I'm such a dubious soul
And a walk in the garden wears me down
Tangled in the fallen vines
Picking up the punch lines

Chorus:
 A              E       A
I've just been fakin' it,
     A    E
Not really makin' it!
          E
No, no, no no!

Is there any danger?
No, no, not really, just lean on me
Taking time to treat
Your friendly neighbors honestly

Chorus:
I've just been fakin' it, fakin' it
Not really makin' it
This feeling of fakin' it
I still haven't shaken it

Prior to this lifetime
I surely was a tailor, look at me

(Good morning, Mr. Leitch)
(Have you had a busy day?)

I own the tailor's face and hands
I am the tailor's face and hands

Chorus:
I know I'm fakin' it, fakin' it
I'm not really makin' it
This feeling of fakin' it
I still haven't shaken it, shaken it

I know I'm fakin' it
I'm not really makin' it
