The Masquerade Is Over
Words & Music by Herbert Magidson & Allie WrubelRecorded by Sarah Vaughan, 1954
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 a - fraid the mas - que - rade 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 in - spired, now they're just routine.
Am7 D9 G D9 Am7 G7 C Cm
I'm a - fraid the mas - que - rade 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 Pag - liacci
Am7 D9 Cdim G
And get myself a clown's dis - guise,
F#7 Edim B A Am7 D9 D7
And learn to laugh like Pag - liacci 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 a - fraid the mas - que - rade is o - ver,
D7/9 C C/B Am7 Cdim Cm G Am7 Cdim G
And so is love, and so is love.
