Intro: F# G# F# G# C#
C# G# F# C# I was told to be a man was build defences strong F# C# F# G# Keep your woman in her place and she’ll keep hangin’ on F# Fm F# Now I’ve grown to realise my life’s been filled with lies C# F# D#m G# A tread I’ve been hangin’ on has broken in her eyes F# Fm F# If I could let my heart be known in spite walls so high C# F# D#m G# I might taste those bitter tears that I’ve never learned to cry
Chorus #1:
F# G# Bbm But I’ve got a pa-ast like a mask F# C# F# C# And I can see it in her face, the many years I can’t erase F# C# F# G# A broken heart I can’t replace in spite of what I try F# G# Bbm But I’ve got a pa-ast like a mask F# G# C# And I sure took my time to understand
When I was young, not long ago, I hid my feelings well
Sometimes I let my heartaches show but I could never tell
And now I find I’ve been blind, insensitive and vain
Cause someone told me long ago “ignore a woman’s pain”
If I could change the fool I’ve been, I know just what’d do
I’d give her everything I can and make all her dreams come true
Chorus #2:
But I’ve got a past like a mask
And I can see it in her eyes, the lonely nights, the endless lies
The countless time I made her cry when she was by my side
And I’ve got a past like a mask
And I sure took my time to understand
Chorus #1
