Lyrics

(Eb)Just pre tend

I’m (Ab)hold ing you

and (Bb)whis p’ring things

(Bb7)soft and (Eb)low.

And (Ab)think of me

and how it’s (Gm7)gon na be.

And (Fm)just pre tend (F9)I (Cm7)did (F9)n’t (Bb7)go.

When I (Eb)walked a way

I (Ab)heard you say,

“If you (Bb)need me you (Bb7)know what to (Eb)do.”

I (Ab)knew it then,

I’d be (Gm7)back a gain;

(Fm)Just pre tend (F9)I’m (Cm7)right (F9)there (Bb7)with

you.

And (Ab)I’ll come (Bb9)fly ing to (Eb)you a (Ab)gain,

all the (Bb7)cry ing is (Eb)through.

(Ab)I will (Bb7)hold (Fm7)you (Bb7)and (Eb)love you a (Ab)gain,

(Eb)but

un til (Bb7)then

we’ll just pre (Eb)tend.

It’s fun (Eb)ny,

but I (Ab)can’t re call

the (Bb)things we said

or (Bb7)why you (Eb)cried.

But (Ab)now I know

it was (Gm7)wrong to go;

(Fm)I be long (F9)there (Cm7)by (F9)your (Bb7)side.

Yes,

we’ll just pre (Eb)tend.

About “Just Pretend

Why does the accompaniment for "Just Pretend" show falling notes?
Falling Notes makes each chord visual — colored notes drop onto the keyboard so you can FEEL the rhythm of the backing before each entry. Singers find it easier to lock in with the piano's groove when they see the chord notes land instead of just hearing them.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "Just Pretend" by Elvis Presley in?
The backing track is in Ab at 120 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "Just Pretend" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "Just Pretend"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Just Pretend", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Just Pretend" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
