Masquerade

	  		
 
 

Intro: G Em C G 
G 
There's a stranger in my bed 
Em 
Lighting up a cigarette 
C                       G 
Looking at me like he's lost 


G 
There's a letter by his side 
Em 
Burning with the reasons why 
C                    G 
Our mask has finally dropped 

Em 
Cos now he looks at me 
C                          G 
And it's like I don't even know him 
Em 
And when he touches me 
C                     D 
I've forgotten how to hold him 

G           D               Em 
How can you call it love if 
    C 
You never show your face 
G      D                   Em 
Did we fall in love in the middle of 
    C                  G          Em 
The middle of a masquerade 
    C                      G      
The middle of a masquerade 

              G 
Now there's a foreign taste on his tongue 
              Em 
I'm trying to translate what we've become 
            C                              G 
But I can't make sense of him when we're together 

          G 
And maybe I got caught up in dreams 
       Em 
And it wasn't quite what it seems 
        C                              G 
But you can't hide behind the truth forever 

           Em 
Cos now he talks to me 
    C                      G 
And it's like I don't even know him 
            Em 
And when he touches me 
C                     D 
I've forgotten how to hold him 

G           D               Em 
How can you call it love if 
    C 
You never show your face 
G      D                   Em 
Did we fall in love in the middle of 
    C                  G    
The middle of a masquerade 

G       D             Em 
Now the one I feel for 
   C              G 
Is gone without a trace 
       D                   Em 
Did we fall in love in the middle of 
    C                  G          Em 
The middle of a masquerade 
    C                      G      
The middle of a masquerade 
              D               Em     C 
Tell me do we fall in love 

G 
By the bedside (I don't even know who you are) 
Em                 C 
On the train ride (I don't even know who you are) 
G  
With his shoes tied (I don't even know who you are) 
Em                   C 
And your brown eyes (I don't even know who you are) 
G  
When you touch me (I don't even know who you are) 
Em                  C 
In your blue jeans (I don't even know who you are) 
G 
Say you love me (I don't even know who you are) 
Em                     C 
But you don't know me (I don't even know who you are) 
G 
Say you love me (I don't even know who you are) 
Em 
You say you love me 
C                         G
