Masquerade

	  		


Intro: D  A 


Verse 1: 

                           D                          A 
I never thought I'd be the one to leave you so well a-lone 
                           D                               A 
But bit by bit I find that I'm bound to be still bound for home 
                          G 
The mad arrangement of my days 
   A            G 
My descent into beige 
   A             G      A 
My final masquer-ade is slipping away

Verse 2:

                           D 
Was I the one who took the shirt off your back 
                   A 
The shine off your shoes 
                               D 
Well never think you'd have to thank me for that 
                  A 
You've nothing to lose 
                             G 
And even though I rigged the game 
              A               G 
There must be someone else to blame 
        A                  G 
Who can hang their head in shame 
A 
Don't look at me 


Bridge: 


Em         Em                    Em7          A 
   So that we could have a flutter on the better life 
Em     Em(addmaj7)                    Em7          A 
   You went and borrowed money from a poltergeist

The mad arrangement of my days

My descent into beige 
   A             G      A
