[Intro]

| Emadd9 Em | Emadd9 | Dsus4 D | Dsus2 D |
[Verse 1]
Emadd9 Em Emadd9
You don't need a lot of makeup
Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
To show your face to me
Emadd9 Em Emadd9
You don't need that sexy outfit
Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
To make a place with me
C Am
And you don't need to be an actress
Em Am G Bm
You know that show is shallow and those thrills are cheap
Emadd9 Em Emadd9 Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
And no one you would even like will fill the playhouse seats
[Chorus]
G Bm
It's a lonely way to go
C D
It's the only road that many know to take
G Bm
It's a game that works the best
C D
On those who care nothing for the rest of you
G Bm
When I look into your eyes
C D G
There's more to see than any disguise you hide behind
[Post-Chorus]
| Dsus4 D | Dsus2 D |
[Verse 2]
Emadd9 Em Emadd9
Don't pretend to be a lover
Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
If you can't be a friend
Emadd9 Em Emadd9
I know you're not a brainless beauty
Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
It's time to break the trend
C Am
'Cause I don't want another sweetheart
Em Am G Bm
Who tries to cater to my every need
Emadd9 Em Emadd9 Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
You got much more to offer than a will to please
[Chorus]
G Bm
It's a lonely way to go
C D
It's the only road that many know to take
G Bm
It's a game that works the best
C D
On those who care nothing for the rest of you
G Bm
When I look into your eyes
C D G
There's more to see than any disguise you hide behind
[Post-Chorus]
| Dsus4 D | Dsus2 D |
[Bridge]
C Adim G Em
Maybe you're afraid to show me who you really are
Am Am7/G Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Because you've never been that way before
C Adim G Em
But if you take away the mask that's kept you safe so far
Am Am7/G Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
It'll only make me love you all the more
[Instrumental]
| Emadd9 Em | Emadd9 | Dsus4 D | Dsus2 D |
| Emadd9 Em | Emadd9 | Dsus4 D | Dsus2 D |
| C | Am | Em Am | G Bm |
| Emadd9 Em | Emadd9 | Dsus4 D | Dsus2 D |
[Chorus]
G Bm
It's a lonely way to go
C D
It's the only road that many know to take
G Bm
It's a game that works the best
C D
On those who care nothing for the rest of you
G Bm
When I look into your eyes
C D G
There's more to see than any disguise you hide behind
[Outro]
