D7/9  G          B7    D   Am7  Em       Cdim   
Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine 
         C    Am7  G    G/F#     Am7       D7 
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine  
Am7 D9   G        D9  Am7  G7      C  Cm 
I'm    afraid the    masquerade is over 
   Cdim    G   Edim  Am7  Cdim    Am7 D7 Gdim  D7 
And so is love,                and so is love 
D7/9  G          B7    D   Am7  Em      Cdim   
Your words don't mean what they used to mean; 
           C    Am7  G   G/F#        Am7     D7 
They were once inspired, now they're just routine 
Am7 D9    G        D9    Am7   G7      C  Cm 
I'm     afraid    the    masquerade is over 
   Cdim    G   Edim  Am7  Cdim    D7/9  G D9 Cdim G 
And so is love,                and so is love 
Bridge 
   Am7                D9 Cdim     G 
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci  
   Am7             D9   Cdim     G 
And get myself a clown's disguise 
   F#7     Edim               B          A     Am7     D9     D7 
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci with tears in my eyes 
D7/9  G       B7      D    Am7 Em     Cdim   
You look the same -- you're a lot the same  
         C    Am7  G    G/F#         Am7        D7 
But my heart says 'No, no, you're not the same'  
Am7 D9    G        D9    Am7   G7      C9   C Cm 
I'm     afraid     the    masquerade    is    over 
   D7/9    C   C/B  Am7     Cdim Cm G Am7 Cdim G 
And so is love,          and so  is love
