Masquerade

Intro: B - A - Em - B - A - B

Verse:
B                                
  The painted faces on the street, 
A
caricatures of long ago
Em                           
  Oh they were young and oh so 
       B
sweet, down beyond the boulevard
A                               
  Knock on doors and empty halls, 
Em
and still sometimes remember
B                         B
  The masquerade's forever (the 
masquerade's forever)


Chorus:
B                A
When you see the price they paid
    Em                   B          
     A   B(let ring) B(let ring)
I'm sure you'll come and join the 
masquerade


Verse:
B                               A
  The reeling figures pass on by, 
like ghosts in some forgotten play
Em                               
  Beneath the black and empty sky, 
B
music plays and figures dance
A                               
  With partners chosen by chance, 
Em
and still some times remember
B                         B
  The masquerade's forever (the 
masquerade's forever)

Bridge:
D                    C        
  They reached for tomorrow, but 
     G         B           A
tomorrow's, more of the same
D                      C         
  So they reached for tomorrow, 
     G      B      A      A/E
but tomorrow never came


Chorus:
B                 A
When you hear the price they paid

I'm sure you'll come and join the 
       A
masquerade
B                 A
When you hear the price they paid
    Em                   B          
     A   B(let ring) B(let ring)
I'm sure you'll come and join the 
masquerade



Verse:
B                             A
  One by one and two by two, past 
eight by tens in shattered frames
Em                               
  The players try to leave the room,
B
 frantic puppets on a string
A                               
  And all the while the music sings,
Em
 and still sometimes remember
B                         B
  The masquerade's forever (the 
masquerade's forever)


Chorus: (repeat as desired)
B                 A
When you hear the price they paid
    Em                   B        
I'm sure you'll come and join the 
       A
masquerade
B                 A
When you hear the price they paid
    Em                   B        
I'm sure you'll come and join the 
       A
masquerade
B                 A
When you hear the price they paid
    Em                   B        
I'm sure you'll come and join the 
       A
masquerade
B                 A
When you hear the price they paid
    Em                   B          
     A      B(let ring)
I'm sure you'll come and join the 
masquerade
