Now return to the chorus, taking the * jump and finish by playing the main

Lyrics:
When she goes, she's gone.
If she stays, she stays here.
The girl knows what she wants to do.
She knows what she wants to do,
And I know I'm fakin' it.
I'm not really makin' it.
I'm such a dubious soul,
And a walk in the garden,
it just wears me down.
Tangled in the fallen vines,
Pickin' up the punch lines,
I've just been fakin' it,
I'm not really makin' it.
Is there any danger?
No, no, not really,
Just lean on me.
Take the time to treat your friendly neighbors honestly.
I've just been fakin' it.
I'm not really makin' it.
This feelin' of fakin' it,
I still haven't shaken it.
Prior to this lifetime,
I surely was a tailor, look at me.
I own the tailor's face and hands.
I am the tailor's face and hands,
And I know I'm fakin' it.
I'm not really makin' it.
This feelin' of fakin' it,
I still haven't shaken it.
