Am                 Am7+                Am7                  D7/9 
Are we really happy with this lonely game we play, 
Am            F7       E7   Bm5-/7  E7 
Looking for words to say? 
Am                               Am7+         Am7         D7/9 
Searching but not finding understanding any way, 
           F7                E7     Am7    
We're lost in this masquerade 
Bridge: Am7/9 Abm7/9  
Gm7/9             C7                F7M      Dm7 
Both afraid to say we're just too far away 
           Gm7                C7                 F7M 
From being close together from the start; 
       F#m7               B7                 E6                     E6/9 
We tried to talk it over, but the words got in the way; 
             D      B7            E7                 Bm5-/7     E7/9+ 
We're lost inside this lonely game we play. 
Am                      Am7+                  Am7                     D7/9 
Thoughts of leaving disappear ev'ry time I see your eyes, 
   Am          F7     E7   Bm5-/7   E7 
No matter how hard I try 
                  Am            Am7+            Am7           D7/9 
To understand the reason that we carry on this way, 
      F7           E7     Am   Am7+ Am7 Am6 F7 E7 Am 
We're lost in this masquerade.
