    |Ebmaj7    |Dm7(b5)  G7     |Cm7  F9|Bbm7   Eb9    |
Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine, and the 

Abmaj7   |Gm7(b5) C7       |F7       |Fm7   Bb7   |
thrill is gone___ when your lips meet mine, I'm a-

Ebmaj7          |Bbm7   Eb7|Abmaj7  |Db9       |
fraid the masque-rade    is over,    And so is 

Gm7 |C7         |Fm7     |Bb7     |
love,  and so is love.        Your



Ebmaj7     |Dm7b5  G7        |Cm7   F9  |Bbm7   Eb9       |
words don't mean___ what they used    to mean,   They were 

Abmaj7 |Gm7(b5) C7           |F7      |Fm7   Bb7     |
once in-spired,__ now they're just rou-tine,   I'm a-

Ebmaj7          |Bbm7   Eb7|Abmaj7   |Db9      |
fraid the masque-rade    is over,     And so is 

Gm7   C7  |Fm7    Bb13 |Eb6   Db9  |Eb6    C7(#9#5)|
love,         and so is love.                   I


Fm7                Bb7       |Gm7    C7  |Fm7           Bb7     |Ebmaj7    |
guess I'll have to play Pag-liacci, and get myself a clown's dis-guise; And
 
Am7b5    D7            |Gm7     C9  |Cm7    F7     |Fm7    Bb7   |
learn to laugh like Pag-liacci, with tears___ in my eyes.    You

Ebmaj7  |Dm7(b5) G7       |Cm7   F9  |Bbm7   Eb9     |
look the same,___ you're a lot    the same,   But my 

Abmaj7    |Gm7b5   C7        |F7     |Fm7     Bb7    |
heart says "No,____ no you're not the same."   I'm a-

Ebmaj7          |Bbm7   Eb7 |Abmaj7  |Db9           |
fraid the masque-rade     is over,         And so is 

Gm7    C7 |Fm7      Bb9sus |Eb6     |(Fm7     Bb7) ||
love,           And so is   love.______
