Charade

Intro 
Am E Am E 

 
Am             E      Am 
When we played our charade 
                       E 
We were like children posing 
Dm         E      Dm         E 
Playing at games, acting out names 
Dm           E7       Am     E7 
Guessing the parts we played 
 

 
Am         E      Am 
Oh, what a hit we made 
                     E 
We came on next to closing 
Dm          E     Dm       E 
Best on the bill lovers until 
Dm              E7     Am 
Love left the masquerade 
 

 
Dm   G7        Em       Am 
Fate seemed to pull the strings 
Dm           G   Em   A7 
I turned and you were gone (you were gone) 
Dm    G7       Em       Am 
While from the darkened wings 
    Bm    Dm         E7 E Am E 
The music box played on 
 

 
Am         E    Am 
Sad little serenade 
                      E 
Song of my heart's composing 
Dm        E      Dm       E 
I hear it still, I always will 
Dm          E7         Am  E        Am       E        Am 
Best on the bill, charade (bum bum, bum bum, bum bum, bum bum) 
 

Outro 
Am         E    Am 
Sad little serenade (bum bum, bum bum) 
                      E 
Song of my heart's composing (bum bum) 
Dm        E      Dm       E 
I hear it still, I always will

Best on the bill, charade (bum bum, bum bum, bum bum, bum bum)
