Leon Russell - This Masquerade Chords

[Verse]

Am            Ammaj7             Am7           D9
Are we really happy with this lonely game we play,

Am            F7       E7   Bm7-5  E7
Looking for words to say?

Am                 Ammaj7         Am7         D9
Searching but not finding understanding any way,

       F7          E7     Am
We're lost in this masquerade


[Bridge]

Gm7             C7                FM7      Dm7
Both afraid to say we're just too far away

       Gm7          C7             FM7
From being close together from the start;

   F#m7             B7             E6              E6 alt
We tried to talk it over, but the words got in the way;

       D      B7        E7   Bm7-5     E7
We're lost inside this lonely game we play.


[Instrumental interlude]


[Bridge]

Gm7             C7                FM7      Dm7
Both afraid to say we're just too far away

       Gm7          C7             FM7
From being close together from the start;

   F#m7             B7             E6              E6 alt
We tried to talk it over, but the words got in the way;

       D      B7        E7   Bm7-5     E7
We're lost inside this lonely game we play.


[Outro]

Am                  Ammaj7             Am7              D9
Thoughts of leaving disappear every time I see your eyes,

   Am          F7     E7   Bm7-5   E7
No matter how hard I try

   Am            Ammaj7            Am7           D9
To understand the reason that we carry on this way,

      F7           E7     Am   Ammaj7 Am7 Am6 F7 E7 Am
We're lost in this masquerade.
