[Verse 1]
(Hammill) [D]He's a man
of [C]the past
and [A]one of the [D]present,
A man who hides be[C]hind
a mask behind a mask;
[F]A clown, [D]a f[G]ool[D],[Bb]
[D]believing it [Bb]cool to be do[C]wn
Or that [D]the game is [C]all about
who laughs the last.
[Bb][C][D]

[Verse 2]
So he tells all [C]his problems to [Am]his
[A]friends and relat[D]ions,
Exposes [C]his neuroses [F]to their view.
[D]They ac[G]cept [D]as fac[Bb]t eve[D]ry
[Bb]masochistic mumble of [C]his act- -
How could [D]they know what [C]was false and what

[Interlude 1]
was true?

[C]Sometimes

[Verse 3]
when he wakes
[Bb]He f[A]eels h[Gm]e's walked into a dream
[C]But all it takes
[Bb]To r[A]emind him th[Gm]ings are what they s[C]eem
Is the belief that [Bb]the m[A]an b[Bb]ehind the
[Gm]mask can [Bb]really [F]dance
Pirouetting [Bb]smile He

[Verse 4]
[F]
sees himsel[Gm]f cavort[C]ing,
Pierrot for a while
[Bb]Be f[F]ore ab[Gm]orti[C]ng
To find re[Bb]lief in the [A]shelter [Bb]of the d[Gm]ark,
most [Bb]telling [F]mask.

[D]all[C] the[A] pantomimes are[D] ended
He peels all [C]the make- up off [F]his face
[D]To re[G]veal, [D]be [Bb]neath,
[D]the tears run[C]ning [Bb]all [C]down his cheeks:
[D]Alone, he opens [C]to the
world...but it's much too [Bb]late.[C]
He's been [D]left, in [C]the end,

[Outro 1]
without a face.
