Em            EmMaj7/D#
Are we really   happy   with

     Em7/D           A7
This lonely game we play

Em              C9          B7
Looking for the right words to say

Em                EmMaj7/D#
Searching but not finding

      Em7/D     A7
Understanding anyway

      C9          B7      Em
We're lost in this masquerade
[Chorus]
Dm7             G                Cmaj7  Am7
Both afraid to say we're just too far away

      Dm7           G     Bb      Cmaj7
From being close together from the start

   A/C#               F#
We tried to talk it over

          B
But the words got in the way

       A7    F#          B
We're lost inside this lonely game we play
[Verse 2]
Em                   EmMaj7/D#
Thoughts of leaving disappear

     Em7/D            A7
Each time I see your eyes

Em            C9         B7
And no matter how hard I try

Em                EmMaj7/D#
To understand the reason

       Em7/D          A7
Why we carry on this way

          C9               B7     Em  A7  Em  A7
And we're lost in this masquerade
[Interlude] Em EmMaj7/D# Em7/D A7 Em C9 B7 Em EmMaj7/D# Em7/D A7 C9 B7 Em Dm7 G Cmaj7 Am7 Dm7 G Bb Cmaj7 [Chorus Ending]
   A/C#               F#
We tried to talk it over

          B
But the words got in the way

       A7    F#          B
We're lost inside this lonely game we play

We're lost in a masquerade

      Cmaj7     B7      Em
We’re lost in a mas - querade
[Coda] Em Em7/D Em7/C Em7/C#
          Gm7       B7      Em
And we’re lost in a mas - querade
