Verse
Fm Fm7M Fm7 Bb7(9)
Are we really happy here with this lonely game we play
Fm C#7(9) Gm7(b5) C7 C7(B9)
Looking for words to say
Fm Fm7M Fm7 Bb7(9)
Searching but not finding understanding any way
Cmaj7 Gm7(b5) C7 Fm
Were lost in a masq ue rade
(Piano notes as a segue): Bb7(9)
Ebm7 G#7 C#7M D
Both afraid to say were just too far away
Ebm7 G#7 C#7M C#7
From being close together from the start
Dm7 G7 C7M
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
Gm G7 C7 C7(B9)
Were lost inside this lonely game we play
Fm Fm7M Fm7 Bb7(9)
Thoughts of leaving disappear every time I see your eyes
Fm C#7(9) Gm7(b5) C7 C7(B9)
And no matter how hard I try
Fm Fm7M Fm7 Bb7(9)
To understand the reasons that we carry on this way
Dm7(b5) Gm7(b5) C7 Fm Bb7(9)
Were lost in this mas que rade
