[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

Were lost in a masq ue rade

Both afraid to say were just too far away

From being close together from the start

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

Were lost inside this lonely game we play
[Fm] Fm7M [Fm7] [Bb7](9)
Thoughts of leaving disappear every time I see your eyes

And no matter how hard I try

To understand the reasons that we carry on this way
