[Em] This Masquerade, Carpenters, 1973, Geo Benson
[Em] [A] re we really happy with this lonely game we [A] play?
CLooking for the [Em] right words to [B7] say
[Em] Searching but not finding, understanding [A] anyway
We’re Clost in this [B7] masquerade [Em]
FBoth afraid to [G] say we’re just too Cfar away
From [F] being close [G] together from the [C] start
We [F#m] tried to talk it [B7] over but the Ewords got in the way
We’re [G] lost [B] inside this [A] lonely game we [B7] play
[Em] Thoughts of leaving disappear each time I see your [A] eyes
[C] And no matter how [Em] hard I [B7] try
To [Em] understand the reason why we carry on this [A] way
We’re Clost in this [B7] masquerade [Em]
