The B7mask come off the gilded cloth, yEet I'm just barely there

I think that's it.

A D B7 E

/ / / | / / / | / / / | / / /

Bbdim7

20 years of schooling, I just never learned the math

B7 E

That one and one don't equal two, They often equal half

Bbdim7

I have tried to live the high life, the best that I know how

B7 E

And I bought my share of debonair, and parlayed it on the crowd

Chorus:

A D

I do believe that there's no more tricks up my sleeve

The good old days have past and the good times after that

E A

And slowly I've become undone a stranger with a stranger heart

/ / / | / / / /

Bbdim7

Well I plan to hit the bottom, the bottle then the top

And I pray that something quits me, before I gotta stop

Cause the masquerade is over, but I was barely there

B7 E

The mask come off the gilded cloth, yet I'm just barely there
