Past Like a Mask
Intro: F# G# F# G# C#
C#I was told to G#be a man was F#build defences C#strong
F#Keep your woman C#in her place and F#she'll keep hangin' G#on
Now I've grown F#to realise my Fmlife's been filled with F#lies
C#A tread I've been F#hangin' on has D#mbroken in her G#eyes
If I could let my F#heart be known in Fmspite walls so F#high
C#I might taste those F#bitter tears that I've D#mnever learned toG# cry
Chorus #1:
But I've got a F#pa-G#ast like a Bbmmask
F#And I can see it C#in her face, F#the many years I C#can't erase
F#A broken heart I C#can't replace in F#spite of what I G#try
But I've got a F#pa-G#ast like a Bbmmask
And F#I sure took my G#time to underC#stand
When I was young, not long ago, I hid my feelings well
Sometimes I let my heartaches show but I could never tell
And now I find I've been blind, insensitive and vain
Cause someone told me long ago "ignore a woman's pain"
If I could change the fool I've been, I know just what'd do
I'd give her everything I can and make all her dreams come true
Chorus #2:
But I've got a past like a mask
And I can see it in her eyes, the lonely nights, the endless lies
The countless time I made her cry when she was by my side
And I've got a past like a mask
And I sure took my time to understand
Chorus #1
