Verse

[Fm] Fm7M [Fm7] [Bb7](9)

Are we really happy here with this lonely game we play

[Fm] [C#7](9) [Gm7](b5) [C7] [C7]([B9])

Looking for words to say

[Fm] Fm7M [Fm7] [Bb7](9)

Searching but not finding understanding any way

[Cmaj7] [Gm7](b5) [C7] [Fm]

Were lost in a masq ue rade

(Piano notes as a segue): Bb7(9)

[Ebm7] [G#7] C#7M [D]

Both afraid to say were just too far away

[Ebm7] [G#7] C#7M [C#7]

From being close together from the start

[Dm7] [G7] [C7M]

We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way

[Gm] [G7] [C7] [C7]([B9])

Were lost inside this lonely game we play

[Fm] Fm7M [Fm7] [Bb7](9)

Thoughts of leaving disappear every time I see your eyes

[Fm] [C#7](9) [Gm7](b5) [C7] [C7]([B9])

And no matter how hard I try

[Fm] Fm7M [Fm7] [Bb7](9)

To understand the reasons that we carry on this way

[Dm7](b5) [Gm7](b5) [C7] [Fm] [Bb7](9)

Were lost in this mas que rade
