Masquerade (This) by Leon Russell
Sung by George Benson (#10 in '76)
[Am] [Am]+7 [Am7] [D9]
Are we really happy with this lonely game we play,
[Am] [F7] [E7] [Bm7]-5 [E7]
Looking for words to say?
[Am] [Am]+7 [Am7] [D9]
Searching but not finding understanding any way,
[F7] [E7] [Am]
We're lost in this masquerade
Bridge:
[Gm7] [C7] [FM7] [Dm7]
Both afraid to say we're just too far away,
[Gm7] [C7] [FM7]
From being close together from the start
[F#m7] [B7] [E6] [E6]
We tried to talk it over, but the words got in the way,
[D] [B7] [E7] [Bm7]-5 [E7]
We're lost inside this lonely game we play.
(Instrumental)
Repeat bridge:
[Am] [Am]+7 [Am7] [D9]
Thoughts of leaving disappear every time I see your eyes,
[Am] [F7] [E7] [Bm7]-5 [E7]
No matter how hard I try
[Am] [Am]+7 [Am7] [D9]
To understand the reason that we carry on this way,
[F7] [E7] [Am]
We're lost in this masquerade.
[Am]+7 - [Am7] - [Am6] - [F7] - [E7] - [Am]
Another great hit from Kraziekhat!
