D7/9 G B7 D Am7 Em Cdim
Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
C Am7 G G/F# Am7 D7
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
Am7 D9 G D9 Am7 G7 C Cm
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
Cdim G Edim Am7 Cdim Am7 D7 Gdim D7
And so is love, and so is love
D7/9 G B7 D Am7 Em Cdim
Your words don't mean what they used to mean
C Am7 G G/F# Am7 D7
They were once inspired, now they're just routine

I'm afraid the masquerade is over
Cdim G Edim Am7 Cdim D7/9 G D9 Cdim G
And so is love, and so is love
Bridge
Am7 D9 Cdim G
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
Am7 D9 Cdim G
And get myself a clown's disguise
F#7 Edim B A Am7 D9 D7
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci with tears in my eyes
D7/9 G B7 D Am7 Em Cdim
You look the same -- you're a lot the same
C Am7 G G/F# Am7 D7
But my heart says "No, no, you're not the same"
Am7 D9 G D9 Am7 G7 C9 C Cm
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
D7/9 C C/B Am7 Cdim Cm G Am7 Cdim G
And so is love, and so is love
