Lyrics
When we played our charade we were like children (E7)posing,
(Bm7)playing at (E7)games, (Bm7)acting out (E7)names,
(Bm7)guessing the (E7)parts we (Am)played.
Oh, what a (F)hit we (Am6)made,
(Am)we came on next to (Bm7)closing.
Best on the (E7)bill, (Bm7)lovers (E7)until (Bm7)love left the (Eaug)(E7)(Am)masquerade.
(Dm7)Fate seemed to (Cmaj7)pull the (Am)strings.
I turned (G7)and you were (C)gone,
(Dm7)while from the (Cmaj7)darkened (Am)wings the (D9)music box played (Bm7)on.
(Am)Sad little serenade, song of my heart's (E7)composing.
(Bm7)I hear it (E7)still, (Bm7)I always (E7)will,
(Bm7)best on the (E7#5)bill
(E7)(Am)charade.
