[G] [C]
[B]
[F] [Bb]
[B] Your [Ebm]
[Eb] eyes [Dm]
don't [Em] shine [Cm]
[B] like they used [Bbm]
[Eb] to shine
[Ab]
And the thrill [Gm] is gone, [C] gone [F] when your lips
[Bb] remind
[D]
I'm [Eb] afraid the
[Bbm] [Eb] masquerade [Ab]
is [F] over, over, over
[Gm] And so is love, [Bb] [C] my darling, [E] [Fm] and so is [D] love
[Bb] Your [E] [Eb]
words [D] don't [Ab] [Em] mean [Db] [Cm] what [B] they used, [Bbm] what they used [Eb] to mean
[Db] [Ab]
They were once [Gm] [Bb] inspired, [C] now [F] they're just routine
[Bb]
[Ebm] [Eb] I'm afraid of the [Bbm] masquerade, [Eb] [Ab]
it's [F] all over, it's all over
And [Gm] so is love, [C] [Fm]
and [D] so [Eb] is [A] love
[Abm] [Eb]
[Bb] [Ab] I guess [Bb] I'll have to play [Ab] [Eb] Pagliacci [E] [Ab] and get [Bb] myself a [Eb] clown's disguise
[D] And learn [Am] to let [Gm] fly Pagliacci [Eb] [Gm] [Cm] with tears [Bb] in my
[D] [Eb] eyes
You look, oh baby, [Dm]
you [G] look the [Db] same [Cm]
You're a [B] lot, a lot, [Bbm] a lot, a lot [Eb] the same
[Db] [Ab] But my heart [Gm] says no, no, no, [C] no, no [F] You are not [Cm]
the [Bb] same
[Eb] And I'm afraid,
[Gb] I'm [Eb] afraid the
[Bbm] masquerade, [Eb] oh it's [Ab] all over, over, [Abm] over
And [Bb] so is [E] love, [Fm] and
[Bb] so [Ab] [Gm]
[Bb] is [E] love, love, love, love
[Ab] And so is love, [Db] oh, [Gm] the masquerade is [C] all over
[Fm]
And so, [Bb]
[E] so [Bb]
is [B]
[Gbm] love
[Eb]
