[Verse]
Am Ammaj7 Am7 D9
Are we really happy with this lonely game we play,
Am F7 E7 Bm7-5 E7
Looking for words to say?
Am Ammaj7 Am7 D9
Searching but not finding understanding any way,
F7 E7 Am
We're lost in this masquerade
[Bridge]
Gm7 C7 FM7 Dm7
Both afraid to say we're just too far away
Gm7 C7 FM7
From being close together from the start;
F#m7 B7 E6 E6 alt
We tried to talk it over, but the words got in the way;
D B7 E7 Bm7-5 E7
We're lost inside this lonely game we play.

Thoughts of leaving disappear every time I see your eyes,

We're lost in this masquerade.
