Masquerade

"Masquerade" - Berlin (capo 1) Intro: - - - - - Verse:   The painted faces on the street caricatures of long ago   Oh they were young and oh so sweet down beyond the boulevard   Knock on doors and empty halls and still sometimes remember   The masquerade’s forever (the masquerade’s forever) Chorus: When you see the price they paid I’m sure you’ll come and join the masquerade              Verse:   The reeling figures pass on by like ghosts in some forgotten play   Beneath the black and empty sky music plays and figures dance   With partners chosen by chance and still some times remember   The masquerade’s forever (the masquerade’s forever) Bridge:   They reached for tomorrow but tomorrow’s more of the same   So they reached for tomorrow but tomorrow never came       Chorus: When you hear the price they paid I’m sure you’ll come and join the masquerade When you hear the price they paid I’m sure you’ll come and join the masquerade              Verse:   One by one and two by two past eight by tens in shattered frames   The players try to leave the room frantic puppets on a string   And all the while the music sings and still sometimes remember   The masquerade’s forever (the masquerade’s forever) Chorus: (repeat as desired) When you hear the price they paid I’m sure you’ll come and join the masquerade When you hear the price they paid I’m sure you’ll come and join the masquerade When you hear the price they paid I’m sure you’ll come and join the masquerade When you hear the price they paid I’m sure you’ll come and join the masquerade     / Chord: -----            -----            --2--            --2--            E--0--
