Tuning:
Performance notes: This chart is not exact to Leon's version as his original key is in Cm, but I
tried to stay true to his chord changes. Also, it is best played from the barre chord position (see chart).
EmAre we really Em(maj7)happy here with this Em7lonely game we A9play
EmLooking for C9words to B7say
EmSearching but not Em(maj7)finding underEm7standing any A9way
Were C13lost in a B7masqueEmrade
Dm7Both afraid to G7say were just too Cmaj7far away C7
Dm7From being close toG7gether from the Cmaj7start
We C#m7tried to talk it F#7over but the Bmaj7words got in the way
Were F#m7lost inF#7side this B7lonely F#m7b5game we B7play B7#9
EmThoughts of leaving Em(maj7)disappear every Em7time I see your A9eyes
EmNo matter how C9hard I B7try
EmTo understand the Em(maj7)reasons that we Em7carry on this A9way
Were C13lost in this B7masqueEmrade A9
