Intro

 F                               
Breathing irregular, the walls in 
                     Dm
the corridors are closing
Who knew that a hallway could be so 
     C
foreboding
I take a step and let these 
         Am
disastrous visualizations
                               F
Take their time to manifest unease
A sudden door creak, our shifting 
          Dm
eyes meet
We seem to all be on corresponding 
  C
beats
I think I understand these specific 
calculations
Am
Beckoning for something here to 
shift the standard of our greeting

[Pre-Chorus]
F
Such simple elegance seems
Dm
So perfect in this framing
C
But yet the heart is weak

Continúa después del anuncio
As it could ever be
Am
We wish one simple thing

[Chorus]
We're hoping no one sees the 
F
masquerade
The slight of hand, the simply 
 Dm
skilled charade
                          C
Suited to give impression that this 
is not a ruse
There's nothing to deduce
Am
Please do not be confused
You're at a ball but not a 
 F
masquerade
                         Dm
Dresses and centerpieces on display
Windows and pillars give an 
C
aesthetic role to fill
Yet here the room is still
Am
This crowd has lost the will
                          F
To spend a day inside the masquerade
                                 Dm
They're sick of acting like it's not
 a play
                           C
So sick of taking part of all the 
games
So if they're meant to rot
Am
Behind this mask they're not
They're breaking free and singing
F Dm  C  Am


[Transition]
                            F
They're breaking free and singing
       Dm                  C       
Na na na, na na na, na na na
Am

                      F
Na na na na na na na na
      Dm                  C
Na na na, na na na, na na na
