This Masquerade 
By Leon Russell

Are we real-ly hap-py here
-2  3   3*  -3*  4 7   -6
With this lone-ly game we play
5    -3*   3* -3*  4   3*  -2
Look-ing for words to say?
3*    3   3*  -5* -5*  4
Search-ing but not find-ing 
-2      3  3*  -3*  5    7 
Un- der-stand-ing an-y-where
-6 -4-3*  3*  -3* 4  3* -2
We're lost in a  mas— mas- quer-ade
5      -2  3*-3*-4-3* -4-3* 3*   -2
Both a-fraid to  say
4*  -5* -6   -6* -6 
We're just too far   a- way
-5*    -5  -5* -6  3*-2 3*
From be-ing close to- geth-er 
3*   4* -5*  -6   -6* -6 -5*
from the start
5*    7*  7*-6
We tried to talk it ov-er
-6  -5   6   -6  7  7* 7
But the words got in the way
7    -6  7     3  3  32   3
We're lost in-side this 
3      -3* 3   -4   3
Lone-ly game we play
4    -5 -3*  4   3
Thoughts of leav-ing dis-ap-pear
-2       3   3*  -3* 4   7  -6
Ev-'ry time I see your eyes
5  -3*  3* -3* 4   3*   -2
No mat-ter how hard I try
3* 3*   3  3*  -5* -5* 4
To un-der-stand the rea-sons
1  -2  3   3*   -3*  5   7
That we car-ry on this way
-2   1   3*-3* 4   -3*  -2
We're lost in  a  mas- quer-ade
1      -2  3* -3* -4-3* 3* 3*-6  

Both afraid to say
We're just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over
But the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear
Ev'ry time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons
That we carry on this way
We're lost in this masquerade
