Tom : A
Intro: C# , A , B , G#m (4 times)
C# A
All alone had to talk about it
B G#m
Like a two-edged sword, he touched you and he stabs me
C# A
All along I knew you were a phony girl.
B G#m
Sit behind the mask where you control your world.
C# A
Yesterday he had you in his arms
B G#m
When I'm holding you I feel his bitter charms
C# A
I can't judge what you do to me.
B G#m
Camouflage the truth, Indulge your fantasy.
[Refrão]
C# A
Who do you love? Is it me now?
B G#m
Is it him babe? I don't know.
C# A
Who do you love? Is it me babe?
B G#m
Is it him now? I don't know.
[Trecho 2x]
Amaj7 B
There is nothing in your eyes; that's the way you cry.
Amaj7 B
All is grand, all is bright. You're just studying my mind.
C# A
Was I invited to your masquerade?
B G#m
Well the party's over so now take off your face
C# A
You say love but it's hard to see
B G#m
When you're in his arms throwing rocks at me.
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
Solo over Amaj7 and B (with the two others chords Eb, D) and the same chords as
the intro.
C# A
I walk around stuck within my gloom
B G#m
When I come to you and sit in your room
C# A
Truth is new , I have not a trace
B G#m
Take off your mask so I can see your face.
[Refrão] (repetir)
