[Am] Are we really [Ammaj7] happy here with this [Am7] lonely game we [D9] play
[Am] Looking for [F7] words to [E7] say? [Bm7][E7]
[Am] Searching but not [Ammaj7] finding under-[Am7]standing any [D9] way
We’re [F7] lost in this [E7] masque-[Am]rade
[Gm7] Both afraid to [C7] say we’re just too [Fmaj7] far away [Dm7]
From [Gm7] being close to-[C7]gether from the [Fmaj7] start
[F#m7] We tried to talk it [B7] over, but the [E7] words got in the way
We’re [D] lost in-[B7]side this [E7] lonely [Bm7] game we [E7] play
[Am] Thoughts of leaving [Ammaj7] disappear every [Am7] time I see your [D7] eyes
No [Am] matter how [F7] hard [E7] I try [Bm7][E7]
To [Am] understand the [Ammaj7] reasons that we [Am7] carry on this [D7] way
We’re [F7] lost in this [E7] masque-[Am]rade
Musical interlude
[Gm7] Both afraid to [C7] say we’re just too [Fmaj7] far away [Dm7]

[F#m7] We tried to talk it [B7] over, but the [E7] words got in the way
We’re [D] lost in-[B7]side this [E7] lonely [Bm7] game we [E7] play
[Am] Thoughts of leaving [Ammaj7] disappear every [Am7] time I see your [D7] eyes
No [Am] matter how [F7] hard [E7] I try [Bm7][E7]
To [Am] understand the [Ammaj7] reasons that we [Am7] carry on this [D7] way
We’re [F7] lost in this [E7] masque-[Am]rade [Ammaj7][Am7][F7][E7][Em]
