[Verse 1]

A minorAm             FF        E MajorE
Every day the Masquerade is sending out the call
A minorAm                 FF           E MajorE
Every day that Night Bregade came crashing through that door
     A minorAm               FF
They said "What are you doing siting all alone just staring at the telephone?
                       E MajorE
There's a place we know that you can go and join in the parade"
     A minorAm
And I said "I'm just sitting here licking my wounds
    FF
And i don't think i'll be finished soon
                 E MajorE
Where can I find a place to hide from this mess I've made?"

[Chorus]

      A minorAm
At the Masquerade!
          FF
You'll be glad you came!
                          E MajorE
They won't see the holes that in your soul when you cover up your face
     A minorAm
At the Masquerade!
       FF
It's gonna be ok!
                      E MajorE
Trade your shame for wealth and fame where no one knows your name!


[Verse 2]

A minorAm
Blast and break through
    FF         E MajorE
They dragged me to this zoo
 A minorAm
"Put your mask on: That's the key"
   FF     E MajorE
Which animal is right for me?
A minorAm
So I burst through the pearly gates and
FF
I was alarmed by what awaited
                E MajorE
They greeted me with open arms: Like I was one of them
     A minorAm
And I felt right away they let me in
 FF
Absolved me of my prior sins
So I shed this wretched skin at last!
  E MajorE
And I became the mask!

[Chorus]

      A minorAm
At the Masquerade!
          FF
You'll be glad you came!
                          E MajorE
They won't see the holes that in your soul when you cover up your face
     A minorAm
At the Masquerade!
       FF
It's gonna be ok!
                      E MajorE
Trade your shame for wealth and fame where no one knows your name!


[Bridge]

      A minorAm          FF
It's a chance to leave it all behind (leave it all behind)
               E MajorE
Start again, begin a brand new life
A minorAm
They were right that I wouldn't hate it
FF
To think that I hesitated
I finally checked my checkered past
  E MajorE
And I'm not going back!


[Chorus]

      A minorAm
At the Masquerade!
          FF
You'll be glad you came!
                          E MajorE
They won't see the holes that in your soul when you cover up your face
     A minorAm
At the Masquerade!
       FF
It's gonna be ok!
                      E MajorE
Trade your shame for wealth and fame where no one knows your name!

  A minorAm                FF
Come along don't you fear the Masquerade!
Step in: Don't be afraid
Take your pain and deepest shame
   E MajorE
And let them go a the Masquerade!
 A minorAm              FF
Grab a mask and cover up your face!
Wrap yourself in silk brocade.
Just forget the mistakes you made
   E MajorE
Cause no one cares at the Masquerade!
