This Masquerade


Are we really happy here
-2  3  3* -3*  5  7  -6

With this lonely  game   we play
-4*  -3*  3* -3* -4* 3*  3*  2*

Looking for words                 to say
 3*  3  3* -5*  6* -5* 6* -5* -4* -3* 4

Searching but not finding
 -2  3     3* -3*  5  7

Understanding  any   where
6* -4* 3* -3* -4* 3* 2* -1* 2*

We're lost in  a   masq,  masquerade
  1    2*  3* -3* -4 -3*  -3* 3* -3* 3* 2* -1* 2*


Both afraid to say    we're just too far away
 5* -5* 6* -6* 6* -5*   5*   5*  -5*  6* 3* 2* 3*

From being close together from the start
 3*  5* -5*  6* -6* 6* -5*  5*  7* 6* -5* 6*

We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
-6  -5   6   -6  7  7* 7  7  -6    7    3  3  3 -2  3

We're lost inside this lonely game we play
  3    -3*  3 -4   3    5 -5   -3*  4  3


Thoughts of weeping disappear
   -2     3  3* -3*  5  7 -6

Every  time  I see your eyes
-4* -3*  3* -3* -4*  3*  2*

No matter how hard                   I try
3*  3* 3  3* -5*  6* -5* 6* -5* -4* -5* -4* -3* 4

Woo
-8 -7* 7* 6* -5* -4* -4 -3* -4 -3* 3*

To understand the reasons
 1 -2  3  3*  -3*  5  7

That we carry on this way
-4* -3* 3* -3* -4* -3* 2*

We're lost in  a  masquerade
  1    2*  3* -3* -4 -3*  3* 6*
