G                         E
Paint your face and run around.
C                    D
Dance in silky satin gowns.
C                          F   C
Turn my full length mirror dow-hown,
G                            E
Oh you think you're safe and sound.
D7
But you know what I found.

[Verse 2]

G                       E 
Base this lifetime on a lie,
C                         D
Which you then proceed to hide.
C                     F   C
Comes a time I can't deci-hide.
G                          E
But don't you open up your eyes,
D7
To think it's time that you tried to see...

[Chorus 1]

     G      G7
Your masquerade,
              E             D7
And that's an awful game to play.
            G      G7  
It's just a masquerade,
C                           F     C
Making you the queen of diamonds honey,
E
On the ace, of spa-ya-ya-yades.

[Verse 3]

G                         E
Paint your face and run around.
C                    D
Dance in silky satin gowns.
C                          F   C
Turn my full length mirror dow-hown,
G                            E
Oh you think you're safe and sound.
D7
I thought you'd know I'd found...

[Chorus 2]

     G      G7
Your masquerade,
              E             D7
And that's an awful game to play.
            G      G7  
It's just a masquerade,
C                           F     C
Making you the queen of diamonds honey,
E
On the ace, of spa-ya-ya-yades.

E           G      G7
It's just a masquerade.
E           G      G7
It's just a masquerade.
E           G      G7
It's just a masquerade.
E           G      G7
It's just a masquerade.
