[Gm] [Eb] [D] [G]
[Gm] [Eb] [D] [G]
Every day's a masquerade, [Eb] sending out [D] the call.
[G] Every day that knife brigade [Eb] came thrashing through that [D] door.
They [Gm] said, what you doing here sitting all [Eb] alone, just staring on your telephone?
There's a place we know where you can go [D] and join in the parade.
And I [G] said, I'm sitting here licking my wounds [Eb] and I don't think I'll be finished soon.
Where can I find a place to hide [D] from this mess I've made?
At the [Gm] masquerade.
You'll be glad [Eb] you came.
They won't see the holes that are in [D] your soul when you cover up your face.
At the [G] masquerade.
It's gonna be [Eb] okay.
Strange your shame for wealth and fame [D] when no one knows your [A] name.
[G] [Eb] [D]
[G] Blast and breakthrough, they [Eb] dragged me to [D] this zoo.
[G] Put your mask on, that's the key.
[Eb] Which animal [D] is right for me?
[G] So I burst through the pearly gates [Eb] and was alone, but I was awakened.
They greeted me with open arms [D] like I was one of them.
And I [G] felt by the way that they let me in, [Eb] absolved me of my prior sin.
So I shed this wretched skin at last [F] and I [D] became the mask.
[A] At the [G] masquerade.
[Gm] You'll be glad [Eb] you came.
They won't see the holes that are in your soul [D] when you cover up your face.
At the [G] masquerade.
It's gonna be [Eb] okay.
Strange your shame for wealth and fame [D] when no one knows your name.
[Cm] It's a chance to leave [Gm] it all behind.
[Cm] Start again, begin a brand [D] new life.
[Cm] They were right that I wouldn't hate [Gm] it.
To think that I hesitated.
[Eb] I finally checked my checkered past [D] and I'm [Gm] not going back.

Step in, don't be afraid.
Take your pain and your deepest shame [D] and let them go.
At the masquerade.
[G] Grab a mask and cover up [Eb] your face.
Have yourself in suffocate.
Just forget the mistakes you made.
[D] Cause no one cares at the [G] masquerade.
