There's a place I don't want you to know of
        Am                  G
Hidden deep in a blindfolded heart
         Cm                 G#
Where the desperate walk in silence,
         A#                  D#
Waiting for the ghosts to depart

         Am                         E
There's a game I don't want you to know of
      Am               G
Masquerade, Cirque du D?cadence
   Cm               G#
A pawn in an empty chessboard
        A#                   D#
Moved around by a hand of a fool

       Fm       A#
Never played it safe
        D#     Cm7
It's a wicked game
     Fm             G#      A#
Any hand, any call, I'm in

It said: "Love like you've never been hurt
     D#m        G#m                          C#
And dance till dawn like you've just been born
   D#m    G#m                   A#
A perfect toy made by perfect tools
         B                        C#
Playing Ring Around the Rosie with a crowd of fools
        D#m        G#m                           C#
Take a hold of my hand, I have sights to show you

Gingerbread house, Pleasure Island, Big Blue
D#m          G#m                      A#
Turn off the light, close your eyes wide shut

And welcome the precious dark"

I have seen far, I've never seen close

There are no mirrors on my wall
Cm                      G#
Silent is the call of my ocean
       A#                D#
And the sirens washed ashore

         Am                    E
All the sins they have long shadows
        Am                          G
Turn the switch and the past comes alive
        Cm                      G#
Live and learn, 1,2,3, know your ABC
          A#                    D#
It's their answer to every "why"
