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!
