Intro: B - A - Em - B - A - B
Verse:
[B] The painted faces on the street[A], caricatures of long ago
[Em] Oh they were young and oh so sweet[B], down beyond the boulevard
[A] Knock on doors and empty halls[Em], and still sometimes remember
[B] The masquerade's forever[B] (the masquerade's forever)
Chorus:
[B]When you see the [A]price they paid
Em B A B(let ring) B(let ring)
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
Verse:
[B] The reeling figures pass on by[A], like ghosts in some forgotten play
[Em] Beneath the black and empty sky[B], music plays and figures dance
[A] With partners chosen by chance[Em], and still some times remember
[B] The masquerade's forever[B] (the masquerade's forever)
Bridge:
[D] They reached for to[C]morrow, but to[G]morrow's, [B]more of the [A]same
[D] So they reached for t[C]omorrow, but to[G]morrow [B]never c[A]ame[A/E]

I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
Verse:
[B] One by one and two by two, p[A]ast eight by tens in shattered frames
[Em] The players try to leave the ro[B]om, frantic puppets on a string
[A] And all the while the music si[Em]ngs, and still sometimes remember
[B] The masquerade's forever[B] (the masquerade's forever)
