Capo 3
[Intro] 
G Em C G
[Verse]
GThere's a stranger in my bed
EmLighting up a cigarette
CLooking at me like he's Glost
GThere's a letter by his side
EmBurning with the reasons why
COur mask has finally Gdropped
[Chorus]
EmCos now he looks at me
CAnd it's like I don't even Gknow him
EmAnd when he touches me
CI've forgotten how to Dhold him
GHow can you Dcall it love ifEm  
You Cnever show your face
GDid we Dfall in love in the Emmiddle of
The Cmiddle of a masquerGadeEm  
The Cmiddle of a masqueradeG  
[Verse]
Now there's a Gforeign taste on his tongue
I'm trying to Emtranslate what we've become
But I can't Cmake sense of him when we're toGgether
And maybe GI got caught up in dreams
And it Emwasn't quite what it seems
But you Ccan't hide behind the truth forGever
[Chorus]
Cos now he Emtalks to me
And Cit's like I don't even Gknow him
And when he Emtouches me
CI've forgotten how to Dhold him
GHow can you Dcall it love ifEm  
You Cnever show your face
GDid we Dfall in love in the Emmiddle of
The Cmiddle of a masquerGade
[Verse]
GNow the Done I feel forEm  
Is Cgone without a Gtrace
Did we Dfall in love in the Emmiddle of
The Cmiddle of a masquerGadeEm  
The Cmiddle of a masqueradeG  
Tell me do we Dfall in loveEm  C  
GBy the bedside (I don't even know who you are)
EmOn the train ride (CI don't even know who you are)
GWith his shoes tied (I don't even know who you are)
EmAnd your brown eyes (CI don't even know who you are)
GWhen you touch me (I don't even know who you are)
EmIn your blue jeans (CI don't even know who you are)
GSay you love me (I don't even know who you are)
EmBut you don't know me (CI don't even know who you are)
GSay you love me (I don't even know who you are)
EmYou say you love me
CIn the middle of a masquerGade

Capo 3

[Intro]

G Em C G

[Verse]

There's a stranger in my bed

Lighting up a cigarette

C G

Looking at me like he's lost

There's a letter by his side

Burning with the reasons why

C G

Our mask has finally dropped

[Chorus]

Cos now he looks at me

C G

And it's like I don't even know him

And when he touches me

C D

I've forgotten how to hold him

G D Em

How can you call it love if

You never show your face

G D Em

Did we fall in love in the middle of

C G Em

The middle of a masquerade

C G

The middle of a masquerade

[Verse]

Now there's a foreign taste on his tongue

I'm trying to translate what we've become

C G

But I can't make sense of him when we're together

And maybe I got caught up in dreams

And it wasn't quite what it seems

C G

But you can't hide behind the truth forever

[Chorus]

Cos now he talks to me

C G

And it's like I don't even know him

And when he touches me

C D

I've forgotten how to hold him

G D Em

How can you call it love if

You never show your face

G D Em

Did we fall in love in the middle of

C G

The middle of a masquerade

[Verse]

G D Em

Now the one I feel for

C G

Is gone without a trace

D Em

Did we fall in love in the middle of

C G Em

The middle of a masquerade

C G

The middle of a masquerade

D Em C

Tell me do we fall in love

By the bedside (I don't even know who you are)

Em C

On the train ride (I don't even know who you are)

With his shoes tied (I don't even know who you are)

Em C

And your brown eyes (I don't even know who you are)

When you touch me (I don't even know who you are)

Em C

In your blue jeans (I don't even know who you are)

Say you love me (I don't even know who you are)

Em C

But you don't know me (I don't even know who you are)

Say you love me (I don't even know who you are)

You say you love me

C G

In the middle of a masquerade
