Tom: C
F Dm
Breathing irregular, the walls in the corridors are closing
C
Who knew that a hallway could be so foreboding
Am
I take a step and let these disastrous visualizations
F
Take their time to manifest unease
Dm
A sudden door creak, our shifting eyes meet
C
We seem to all be on corresponding beats
I think I understand these specific calculations
Am
Beckoning for something here to shift the standard of our greeting
[Pre-Chorus]
F
Such simple elegance seems
Dm
So perfect in this framing
C
But yet the heart is weak
As it could ever be
Am
We wish one simple thing
[Chorus]
F
We're hoping no one sees the masquerade
Dm
The slight of hand, the simply skilled charade
C
Suited to give impression that this is not a ruse
There's nothing to deduce
Am
Please do not be confused
F
You're at a ball but not a masquerade
Dm
Dresses and centerpieces on display
C
Windows and pillars give an aesthetic role to fill
Yet here the room is still
Am
This crowd has lost the will
F
To spend a day inside the masquerade
Dm
They're sick of acting like it's not a play
C
So sick of taking part of all the games
So if they're meant to rot
Am
Behind this mask they're not
F Dm C Am
They're breaking free and singing
[Transition]
F
They're breaking free and singing
Dm C Am
Na na na, na na na, na na na
F
Na na na na na na na na
Dm C
Na na na, na na na, na na na
