Masks

	  		Intro Em  C  G  D 

Verse 1:
Em              C          G             D 
We're good because there are consequences, they say 
Em             C            G              D 
But if we remove the chains, who will we truly be? 
Em             C             G           D 
It's like taking off a mask, revealing what lies beneath 
Em               C             G           D 
The shadows we hide, the side we always keep 

Em            C          G                  D 
Behind the good deeds, the carefully chosen words 
Em            C            G              D 
There's a truer self that many of us conceal 
Em              C               G              D 
When there's no more punishment, when there's no more fear 
Em            C           G            D 
We'll be able to face who we are, without any veil 


G                   D              Em   C 
Masks fall off, revealing the true face 
G                     D              Em         C 
When there are no consequences, the hidden is revealed 
G               D              Em          C 
We're all actors on a stage, playing roles 
G                   D              Em          C 
But when the curtains close, we show who we truly are 


Verse 2:
Em             C           G               D 
Many live their lives without truly knowing themselves 
Em               C            G              D 
Trapped in their own illusions, in their own act 
Em             C          G             D 
But when the world crumbles, when everything falls apart 
Em             C            G           D 
That's when we see the truth, without masks, without disguise 

Em              C             G              D 
Consequences shape us, teach us what is right 
Em               C            G             D 
But when they disappear, what stops us from going wrong? 
Em              C              G               D 
That's when we must look within, to find the light 
Em              C           G             D 
And accept that we're human, with virtues and also the cross 


G                   D              Em   C 
Masks fall off, revealing the true face 
G                     D              Em         C 
When there are no consequences, the hidden is revealed 
G               D              Em         C 
We're all actors on a stage, playing roles 
G                   D              Em          C 
But when the curtains close, we show who we truly are
 

Bridge:
Am                C           G      D 
So don't be afraid to be who you are 
Am                C           G           D 
Even if it means stripping away the faith 
Am               C           G              D 
Because only when we're honest, can we grow 
Am              C          G       D 
And find the peace we seek to know 


G                   D              Em   C 
Masks fall off, revealing the true face 
G                     D              Em         C 
When there are no consequences, the hidden is revealed 
G               D              Em          C 
We're all actors on a stage, playing roles 
G                   D              Em          C 
But when the curtains close, we show who we truly are
