Charade – Amanda Falk

Verse 1:
C#m                            A                         E                      B/D#
another day, I paint on a face that they expect to see
           C#m                           A                        E                              B
It’s not all I want, but it’s all I’ve got to make this world believe
A              
Nothings wrong with me
             C#m            A              E                   B
I’m an artist of emotion, a master of deceit
               C#m            A                        E                           B
and the many faces I portray are nothing at all like me
A
how I long to be free

CHORUS:

                    B          E   E/Abm   A            C#m             B                E  E/Abm  A
from this, never ending maze, oh my heads in a daze every time I think
              B          E   E/Abm   A              C#m                B                  Abm      A
in this over played charade, oh my hearts gonna fade and I can’t go on


Verse 2:
         C#m                           A               E                        B 
it’s a tug of war each moment to hide this pain inside
            C#m                  A                             E                   B
but to open up, and spill this cup of feelings that I hide
         A
but what would people do, what would people say
C#m                                                B 
when hear the truth, will they turn and run away
                 C#m                                      A                B
will they throw a stone, or lend a shoulder to lean on

(chorus)


Bridge:  
             F#m                                    E
it’s not fair, I can’t take this anymore
                  A                                             E
oh these tears, are drifting me from shore
                  A                                           E
is there hope for someone just like me?
              D                                          A                          B
then I hear a voice inside me say, “I can set you free”.


CHORUS 2:

                      B      E   E/Abm   A          C#m             B                E  E/Abm  A
From this, never ending maze, I will be your strength, if you let me in
                  B          E   E/Abm   A            C#m             B        Abm  A
So just, take my hand and see, if you follow me, you can be free
