Writing The Book On Facades Chords & Lyrics - The Facades

[INTRO]
[F#m]

[VERSE 1]
[F#m]You can't see what I don't want you to see
[F#m] You couldn't catch me if you [C#]tried
I'm [F#m]sitting backstage with me and myself
[C#]Hung upon the wall[C#7]
[F#m]To mine own self I often disagree
And [F#m]sometimes I'm [A]finding that me [C#]lied
And [D]yet another [A]version is [C#7]climbing up the [F#m]shelves
[C#]Setting up for a fall

[CHORUS]
[D] [C#m] [E] [F#m]
Woah-oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh-ohhh
[A]Welcome to [Bm]the masquer[C#]ade
The [F#m]host's out of [A]sight but the [Bm]guests are all [F#m]right
[A]Waltzing in [Bm]time on the s[C#]tage
[D] [C#m] [E] [F#m]
Woah-oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh-ohhh
[A]I know [Bm]all of the [C#]tricks
Nothing [F#m]more than a [A]play that's per[Bm]formed every [F#m]day
[Bm]Maybe my [C#]teachings will [F#m]stick [C#]

[F#m] [F#m] [F#m] [C#] (x4)

[VERSE 2]
Step in[F#m]side of my castle, marvel in awe at the
[C#]Most costly oxymoron of them all
Be[F#m]tween you and me, we're the same don't you see
Mixing [C#]fury and fame is the sin we a[C#7]gree
[F#m]Who's in the mask? Well you better not ask
If [F#m]you don't want [A]to know the [C#]truth
Oh [D]we'll have a [A]blast but [C#7]I'm laughing [F#m]last
My [C#]real face cannot be deduced

[CHORUS]
[D] [C#m] [E] [F#m]
Woah-oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh-ohhh
[A]Welcome to [Bm]the masquer[C#]ade
The [F#m]host's out of [A]sight but the [Bm]guests are all [F#m]right
[A]Waltzing in [Bm]time on the s[C#]tage
[D] [C#m] [E] [F#m]
Woah-oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh-ohhh
[A]I know [Bm]all of the [C#]tricks
Nothing [F#m]more than a [A]play that's per[Bm]formed every [F#m]day
[Bm]Maybe my [C#]teachings will [F#m]stick [C#]

[BRIDGE]
As for [F#m]what's behind the mask, what do you see?
Cause [C#]I, I see nothing more than a mist
And [D]much to my chagrin, I'm not the real me
Be[Bm]hind all my masks,[C#] do I even

[CHORUS]
[D] [C#m] [E] [F#m]
Exist? (Woah-oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh-ohhh)
