Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I'd like to take this time just to apologize

The way you see me now ain't what I am inside

Really a character, that wasn't in it for us

I tried to keep it up, but when I

 Looked into your eyes tonight

 I saw your heart crystal-clear

 And when you looked back at mine

 The truth seemed to disappear

 Because it was all, it was all

 It was all a masquerade

 Because it was all, it was all

 It was all a masquerade

 A masquerade, masquerade, masquerade, masquerade

 A masquerade, masquerade, masquerade, masquerade, yeah

I said I loved you first, but love is just a word

Said it so many times that it became a blur

You're not the only one

 I'm sure that hearing it hurts

 Of all the pain you had, I'm the worst

 In your eyes tonight, I saw your heart crystal-clear

 And when you looked back at mine

All the lies reappeared

 'Cause it was all, it was all

 It was all a masquerade

 Because it was all, it was all

 It was all a masquerade

 A masquerade, masquerade, masquerade, masquerade

 A masquerade, masquerade, masquerade, masquerade

 Now I can't believe you're telling me that

You can move on easily, I thought

You really cared for me, I was wrong, I was wrong

 I should have known my fun was bitter-sweet

 And saw the possibilities of me

Playing you, while you're playing me

 I was wrong, I was wrong

 So I guess it was all, it was all

 It was all a masquerade

 I guess it was all, it was all

 It was all a masquerade

 A masquerade, masquerade, masquerade, masquerade

 A masquerade, masquerade, masquerade, masquerade, yeah
