Are we real ly hap py

with this (Fm7)lone ly game we (Bb9)play,

look ing for the right

words to (C7sus)say?

(Fm)Search ing but not find ing

un der (Fm7)stand ing an y way,

we’re lost

in this (C7sus)mas

quer ade.

(Ebm7)Both a fraid to say we’re just too far a way

from (Ebm7)be ing close to geth er

from the start.

We (Dm7)tried to talk it o ver, (G7#5)but the (C6)words got in the way.

We’re lost

in side

this (C7sus)lone ly game we play.

(Fm)Thoughts of leav ing dis ap pear each time

I see your eyes.

And no mat ter how

hard (C7sus)I try

to (Fm)un der stand the rea son

why we car ry on this way,

we’re lost

in a mas

quer ade.

Are we real ly hap py

with this (Fm7)lone ly game we (Bb9)play,

look ing for the right
