Nobody knows that I’m a fraud
[Intro]
A D A E
[verse 1]
A D
I don’t watch PMQs as often as you might expect
A E
I only live tweet question time for comedic effect
A F#m
I’ve never read Virginia Woolf or any Bertolt Brecht
F#m E A
And nobody knows that I’m a fraud
[verse 2]
A D
It’s often been alleged that I’m as hard left as can be
A E
But my idea of edgy is an unknown brand of tea
A F#m
And I’m not even veggie let alone dairy free
F#m E A
And nobody knows that I’m a fraud
[chorus]
D A E F#m
So I get up underneath the lights until I feel adored
D A E
And I never tell you anything I think you won’t applaud
D A E D
Oh it might not always be the truth, but it’ll have three chords
F#m E F#m D
Nobody knows that I’m a fraud
F#m E A
Nobody knows that I’m a fraud
[verse 3]
A D
Well dressing how I do I find I often get mistook
A E
By graphic novel fans who judge me on the way I look
A F#m
But I just like Batman shirts, I've never read a comic book
F#m E A
Nobody knows that I'm a fraud
[verse 4]
A D
When people call me a musician that makes my palms perspire
A E
I took Grade I piano, and I never got no higher
A F#m
If I didn't have this capo then you'd all see I'm a liar
F#m E A
Nobody knows that I'm a fraud
[chorus]
D A E F#m
So I get up underneath the lights until I feel adored
D A E
And I never tell you anything I think you won’t applaud
D A E D
Oh it might not always be the truth, but it’ll have three chords
F#m E F#m D
Nobody knows that I’m a fraud
F#m E A
Nobody knows that I’m a fraud
[bridge]
E F#m E D A
And some days I get so scared that we're losing
F#m E D A
And some days I'm just so sure we'll never win
F#m E A E
And some days I get so knackered from refusing to let that in
A D
To let that in
D A
Woah Oh
[verse 5]
A D
Well some days life feels like a play that you have not rehearsed
A E
But one thing's true of all of us sharing this universe
A F#m
Is we could all be doing better and we could all be doing worse
F#m E A
And everyone you know feels like a fraud
[chorus]
D A E F#m
So come on and get up underneath the lights until you feel adored
D A E
And never tell them anything you think they won’t applaud
D A E D
Oh it might not always be the truth, but it’ll have three chords
F#m E F#m D
Nobody knows that I’m a fraud
D A E D
Oh it might not always be the truth but it'll have three chords
D A
And I guess I'll take up spoken word when I run out of chords
F#m E A
Because nobody knows that I'm a fraud
