There's a Dmface that we wear

And the Gmtruth is
AsusThat it's Aall a faDmçade!

There's a Dmface that we hide
Till the Amnighttime appears,
And what's Gmhiding inside,
Behind Aall of our fears,
Is our Gmtrue self,
AsusLocked inAside the faDmçade!
[Riff]
BbEvery day
People, in their Amown sweet way,
Like to add a Gmcoat of paint,
And be what they A7sus4ain't!
That's how our little –
BbGame is played,
Livin' like a Ammasquerade
Actin' a biGmzarre charade –
N.C Asus4 Bbsus4/A Csus4/A C#sus4/A
While playing the saint!
But there's Dmone thing I know,
And I Amknow it for sure:
This diGmsease that we've got
Has got Ano ready cure!
And I'm Gmcertain
Dm/ALife is terribly Bbmaj7hard –
AWhen your life's a façade!
[Riff]
D5Look around you! I have found
You Ccannot tell, by lookin' at the surface,
What is lurkin' there beGm7neath it!A
D5See that face!
Now, I'm prepared to Cbet you,
What you see's not what you get –
'Cause man's a Gmmaster of deAsus4ceit! A Dsus4 D
So, Gmwhat is the sinister seCsus4cret?C
The A/C#lie he will tell you is Dmtrue? Dm/C–
It's that Bbeach man you meet
In the Gm7street
Isn't one man but Asus4two!A7
D5Nearly everyone you see –
Like Chim an' her, an' you, an' me –
PreGmtends to be
A pillar of soGmciety A–
A D5model for propriety –
SoCbriety an' piety –
Who shudders at the thought
Of notoGmrieAsus4ty!A Dsus4
DThe Gmladies an' gents 'ere beF/Cfore Cyou –
Which A/C#none of 'em ever adDmmits Dsus4/C–
May Bbhave saintly looks –
But they're Gm7sinners an' crooks!
N.C.
Hypocrites!
HypoFcrites!
There are Dmpreachers who kill!
There are Amkillers who preach!
There are Gmteachers who lie!
There are Aliars who teach!
Take yer Gmpick, dear –Asus4
‘Cause it's all a faDmçade!
[Riff]
If we're Dmnot one, but two,
Are we Amevil or good?
Do we Ebwalk the fine line –
That we'd Fcross if we could?
Are we Gmwaiting –
Asus4To break Athrough the Dmfaçade?
[Riff]
BbOne or two
Might look kinda Amwell-to-do –
Hah! They're bad as Gmme an' you,
Right down they're Asus4boots! (Right down they're boots!)
N.C.
I'm inclined to think –
BbHalf mankind
Thinks the other Amhalf is blind!
Wouldn't be Gmsurprised to find –
They're all in caAsus4hoots!Bbsus4/A Csus4/A C#sus4/A
At the Dmend of the day,
They don't Ammean what they say,
They don't Gmsay what they mean,
They don't A5ever Asus7come A7clean –
And the Gmanswer –
Asus4Is it's Aall a faDmçade!
Is it's all a façade!
Man is Dmnot one, but two,
He is Am/Cevil and good,
An' he Ebsus2walks the fine line
We'd all Fsus2cross if we could!
It's a Gmnightmare –Dm/A
We can never disBbcard –C/Bb
So we stay on our Bbguard –C/Bb
Though we love the faBbçade –C/Bb
What's behind the faGmçade?A7
