verse 1
Am F E
Every day the Masquerade is sending out the call
Am F E
Every day that Night Bregade came crashing through that door
Am F
They said "What are you doing siting all alone just staring at the telephone?
E
There's a place we know that you can go and join in the parade"
Am
And I said "I'm just sitting here licking my wounds
F
And i don't think i'll be finished soon
E
Where can I find a place to hide from this mess I've made?"
Am
At the Masquerade!
F
You'll be glad you came!
E
They won't see the holes that in your soul when you cover up your face
Am
At the Masquerade!
F
It's gonna be ok!
E
Trade your shame for wealth and fame where no one knows your name!
verse 2
Am
Blast and break through
F E
They dragged me to this zoo
Am
"Put your mask on: That's the key"
F E
Which animal is right for me?
Am
So I burst through the pearly gates and
F
I was alarmed by what awaited
E
They greeted me with open arms: Like I was one of them
Am
And I felt right away they let me in
F
Absolved me of my prior sins
So I shed this wretched skin at last!
E
And I became the mask!
Am
At the Masquerade!
F
You'll be glad you came!
E
They won't see the holes that in your soul when you cover up your face
Am
At the Masquerade!
F
It's gonna be ok!
E
Trade your shame for wealth and fame where no one knows your name!
Bridge
Am F
It's a chance to leave it all behind (leave it all behind)
E
Start again, begin a brand new life
Am
They were right that I wouldn't hate it
F
To think that I hesitated
I finally checked my checkered past
E
And I'm not going back!
Am
At the Masquerade!
F
You'll be glad you came!
E
They won't see the holes that in your soul when you cover up your face
Am
At the Masquerade!
F
It's gonna be ok!
E
Trade your shame for wealth and fame where no one knows your name!
Am F
Come along don't you fear the Masquerade!
Step in: Don't be afraid
E
And let them go a the Masquerade!
Am F
Grab a mask and cover up your face!
Wrap yourself in silk brocade.
E
Cause no one cares at the Masquerade!
