Verse:
B (x2444x@1)                              A (x02220@1) The painted faces on the street, caricatures of long ago
Em (022000@1)                                B (x2444x@1) Oh they were young and oh so sweet, down beyond the boulevard
A (x02220@1)                             Em (022000@1)
  Knock on doors and empty halls, and still sometimes remember
B (x2444x@1)                       B (x2444x@1)

B (x2444x@1)              AWhen (x02220@1)you see the price they paid
    Em (022000@1)                 B (x2444x@1)             A (x02220@1) B(let ring) B(let ring)
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade


Verse:
B (x2444x@1)                             A (x02220@1) The reeling figures pass on by, like ghosts in some forgotten play
Em (022000@1)                             B (x2444x@1) Beneath the black and empty sky, music plays and figures dance
A (x02220@1)                             Em (022000@1)
  With partners chosen by chance, and still some times remember
B (x2444x@1)                       B (x2444x@1)                       
  The masquerade's forever (the masquerade's forever)

D (xx0232@1)                    C (x32010@1)            G (320003@1)    B (x2444x@1)    A (x02220@1)    A/E (002220@1)  So they reached for tomorrow, but tomorrow never came

Verse:
B (x2444x@1)                           A (x02220@1) One by one and two by two, past eight by tens in shattered frames
Em (022000@1)                             B (x2444x@1) The players try to leave the room, frantic puppets on a string
A (x02220@1)                             Em (022000@1)
  And all the while the music sings, and still sometimes remember
B (x2444x@1)                       B (x2444x@1)                       
  The masquerade's forever (the masquerade's forever)
