Leaving bottom and top strings open.

E a e All the dirt’s lying under the carpet

A e He swallowed a drink then checked her heartbeat

A e Her wedding gown has been burned to ashes

A e Fanned by the flutter of her false eyelashes

One last chance to kiss again she looked so good he looked so sane

Not forever could they last under the mask under the mask

E a* e Under the mask of happiness under the mask of happiness

She got colder with each incision

No-one knew he had a fatal vision

One last chance to kiss again your mother knows her baby’s pain

Not forever could they last under the mask under the mask

Under the mask of happiness under the mask of happiness

E e7 a Under the mask, under the mask, under the mask,

Under the mask, under the mask, under the mask

(lead guitar) instrumental chords go a e a e e e7 a a7

Look at them walking look at them kiss

What a picture of domestic bliss

Laughing and laughing like clockwork toys

Until they’re broken girls and boys

One last chance to kiss again

She looked so good he looked so sane

Not forever could they last

E e7 a Under the mask, under the mask,

E e7 a Under the mask, under the mask,

E e7 a Under the mask, under the mask,

Under the mask of happiness (repeat and fade) /pre>
