Song: Behind The Mask

Artist: Eric Clapton

Album: August (1986)

Rating: 4/5

Intro: C# , A , B , G#m (4 times)

All alone had to talk about it

Like a two-edged sword, he touched you and he stabs me

All along I knew you were a phony girl.

Sit behind the mask where you control your world.

Yesterday he had you in his arms

When I’m holding you I feel his bitter charms

I can’t judge what you do to me.

Camouflage the truth, Indulge your fantasy.

Who do you love? Is it me now?

Is it him babe? I don’t know.

Who do you love? Is it me babe?

Is it him now? I don’t know.

There is nothing in your eyes; that’s the way you cry.

All is grand, all is bright. You’re just studying my mind.

There is nothing in your eyes; that’s the way you cry.

All is grand, all is bright. You’re just studying my mind.

Was I invited to your masquerade?

Well the party’s over so now take off your face

You say love but it’s hard to see

When you’re in his arms throwing rocks at me.

Who do you love? Is it me now?

Is it him babe? I don’t know.

Who do you love? Is it me babe?

Is it him now? I don’t know.

Solo over Amaj7 and B (with the two others chords Eb, D) and the same chords as

the intro.

I walk around stuck within my gloom

When I come to you and sit in your room

Truth is new , I have not a trace

Take off your mask so I can see your face.

Who do you love? Is it me now?

Is it him babe? I don’t know.

Who do you love? Is it me babe?

Is it him now? I don’t know.
