[Intro]

Em    A#    x4
 
 
Em
Are we really happy here in this lonely game we play
Em          C       F#m   B
Looking for words to say
Em
Searching but not finding understanding anywhere
      C        B     Em
We're lost in a masquerade
 
D#m
 
Dm            C#                C        A
Both afraid to say we're just to far away
Dm              C#                C
From being close together from the start
   C#m              F#           B
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
     F#m    F#        B
Were lost inside this lonely game we play
 
Em
Thoughts of leaving disappear every time I see your smile
Em            C     F#m  B
No matter how hard I try
Em
To understand the reasons that we carry on this way
      C        B     Em
We're lost in a masquerade
