*on all except the D (pretty much), strum inside four strings only

C#m B A E

Cornered at a costume ball

C#m B A D

By a handful of disguises

C#m B A E

So I tried them all on

I wore them obliviously

F#m G# C#m

Though they would choke the life from me

(chorus)

C#m A

I got here by myself but

C#m A(the bar one) F#m

I know that I will never leave the same way

C#m

I got here by myself but

A (intro chords)

How many more will I have led astray

C#m B A E

I work the floor in search of someone

C#m B A D

Who would give me half a chance

C#m B A E

I know if I look hard enough

F#m G# C#m

I'll always find someone who'll dance

(chorus; then music bridge)

It's not long before I notice

C#m B A D

There are no doors to be seen

C#m B A E

I can see I'm going nowhere

F#m G# C#m

Somewhere that I've already been

(chorus 2x; then ending)
