[Verse 1]
               F                        C
In this masquerade, she can't feel the pain

               Am                    G
Cover up her heart, with a little paint

                         F                     C
While he's pulling out a flask, to hide it all away

                         G
There's nothing left to say

Am
He knows that they're drowning

F                C                      Am
She hopes that there's still something left

                       G
Let go now cause he's leaving
[Chorus]
                       F
But she'd be fine pretending

                C                    Am             G
Things were alright, even while its ending keep it inside

                  F
She can feel them bending

                  C                      Am
All their love is pending so what is she defending?

G             F                    C
Even when she says she'll open her eyes

                  Am             G
All her words are empty when she denies

                      F
But she can feel them bending

                  C                      Am
All their love is pending so what is she defending?

G                       F     C     Am     G
But she'd be fine prete eh eh eh eh eh eh (she'd be fine)
[Verse 2]
              F                         C
Step into the light, to look him in the eye

           Am                         G
Feeling so exposed, she tries to stay composed

                 F                       C           Am          G
But every little fight, and every little lie is impossible to hide
[Bridge]
F                      C
He knows that there're drowning

Am              G                       F
She hopes that there's still something left

       C              Am
Let go now cause he's leaving

                  F                      C
But she'd be fine pretending things were alright

               Am             G
Even while its ending keep it inside

                   F
She can feel them bending

                  C                      Am
All their love is pending so what is she defending?

G             F                    C                       Am               G
Even when she says she'll open her eyes, all her words are empty when she denies
[Chorus]
                      F
But she can feel them bending

                  C                       Am
All their love is pending so what is she defending?

G                       F     G     Am   C
But she'd be fine prete eh eh eh eh eh (she'd be fine)

F                           C
I hate to watch her hurt, I know it isn't right

Am                               G
But she can find the courage to leave it all behind

F                           C
I wish I had I the words to help her realize

Am                          G
That there is just no way to bring this back to life
[Bridge]
F                      C         Am
He knows that, they're drowning

                  F                      C
But she'd be fine pretending things were alright

               Am               G
Even while its ending keep it inside

                  F
She can feel them bending

                  C                       Am
All their love is pending, so what is she defending?

G             F                    C
Even when she says she'll open her eyes

                  Am             G
All the words are empty when she denies

                      F                         C
But she can feel them bending all their love is pending so what is
