Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
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.
 Outro*:  ,  ,  ,
