Dm chordDm
There's a face that we wear
C chordC
In the cold light of day –
Gm chordGm
It's society's mask,
F chordF
It's society's way,
Dm chordDm C chordC
And the truth is
e|----------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------|
G|-2----2----2----------------------------------------|
D|---------------3------------------------------------|
A|-----------------3\5--------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------|
That it's all a façade!

Dm chordDm
There's a face that we hide
C chordC
Till the nighttime appears,
Gm chordGm
And what's hiding inside,
F chordF
Behind all of our fears,
Dm chordDm C chordC
Is our true self,

Locked inside the façade!

[Riff]

Bb chordBb
Every day
Am chordAm
People, in their own sweet way,
Gm chordGm
Like to add a coat of paint,
Am chordAm
And be what they ain't!

That's how our little –
Bb chordBb
Game is played,
Am chordAm
Livin' like a masquerade
Gm chordGm
Actin' a bizarre charade –
Am chordAm
While playing the saint!

Dm chordDm
But there's one thing I know,
C chordC
And I know it for sure:
Gm chordGm
This disease that we've got
F chordF
Has got no ready cure!
Dm chordDm C chordC
And I'm certain
Gm chordGm F chordF
Life is terribly hard –

When your life's a façade!

[Riff]

Dm chordDm
Look around you! I have found
C chordC Gm chordGm
You cannot tell, by lookin' at the surface,
Am chordAm
What is lurkin' there beneath it!
Dm chordDm
See that face!
C chordC
Now, I'm prepared to bet you,
Gm chordGm
What you see's not what you get –
F chordF
'Cause man's a master of deceit!

Bb chordBb Am chordAm
So, what is the sinister secret?
Gm chordGm Am chordAm
The lie he will tell you is true? –
Dm chordDm
It's that each man you meet
C chordC
In the street
Gm chordGm F chordF
Isn't one man but two!

Dm chordDm
Nearly everyone you see –
C chordC
Like him an' her, an' you, an' me –
Gm chordGm
Pretends to be
Am chordAm
A chordA pillar of society –
Dm chordDm
A chordA model for propriety –
C chordC
Sobriety an' piety –
Gm chordGm
Who shudders at the thought
F chordF
Of notoriety!

Bb chordBb Am chordAm
The ladies an' gents 'ere before you –
Gm chordGm Am chordAm
Which none of 'em ever admits –
Dm chordDm
May 'ave saintly looks –
C chordC
But they're sinners an' crooks!
Gm chordGm
Hypocrites!
F chordF
Hypocrites!

Dm chordDm
There are preachers who kill!
C chordC
There are killers who preach!
Gm chordGm
There are teachers who lie!
F chordF
There are liars who teach!
Dm chordDm C chordC
Take yer pick, dear –

‘Cause it's all a façade!

[Riff]

Dm chordDm
If we're not one, but two,
C chordC
Are we evil or good?
Gm chordGm
Do we walk the fine line –
F chordF Fsus7 chordFsus7 F7 chordF7
That we'd cross if we could?
Dm chordDm C chordC
Are we waiting –

To break through the façade?

[Riff]

Bb chordBb
One or two
Am chordAm
Might look kinda well-to-do –
Gm chordGm
Hah! They're bad as me an' you,
Am chordAm
Right down they're boots!

I'm inclined to think –

Bb chordBb
Half mankind
Am chordAm
Thinks the other half is blind!
Gm chordGm
Wouldn't be surprised to find –
Am chordAm
They're all in cahoots!

Dm chordDm
At the end of the day,
C chordC
They don't mean what they say,
Gm chordGm
They don't say what they mean,
F chordF Fsus7 chordFsus7 F7 chordF7
They don't ever come clean –
Dm chordDm C chordC
And the answer –
Gm chordGm
Is it's all a façade!
F chordF
Is it's all a façade!

Dm chordDm
Man is not one, but two,
C chordC
He is evil and good,
Gm chordGm
An' he walks the fine line
F chordF
We'd all cross if we could!

Dm chordDm C chordC
It's a nightmare –
Gm chordGm F chordF
We can never discard –
Dm chordDm C chordC
So we stay on our guard –
Gm chordGm F chordF
Though we love the façade –
Dm chordDm C chordC
What's behind the façade?
Dm chordDm
Look behind the façade
