When we played our charade 
                      B 
We were like children posing. 
Am         B      Am         B 
Playing at games, acting out names 
Am           B7       Em 
Guessing the parts we played

Oh, what a hit we made 
                   B

Am          B     Am       B 
Best on the bill, lovers until

Love left the mas-quer-ade.

Fate seemed to pull the strings. 
Am           D   Bm   E7 
I turned and you were gone.

The music box played on.
