Past Like a Mask

Intro:  F#  Ab  F#  Ab  C# 

C#            Ab           F#             C#
I was told to be a man was build defences strong
F#              C#               F#                  Ab
Keep your woman in her place and she’ll keep hangin’ on
               F#            Fm                      F#
Now I’ve grown to realise my life’s been filled with lies
C#                F#             Ebm           Ab
A tread I’ve been hangin’ on has broken in her eyes
                  F#                Fm             F#
If I could let my heart be known in spite walls so high
C#                  F#                     Ebm             Ab
I might taste those bitter tears that I’ve never learned to cry

Chorus #1:
               F# Ab         Bbm
But I’ve got a pa-ast like a mask
F#               C#           F#               C#  
And I can see it in her face, the many years I can’t erase
F#               C#               F#              Ab  
A broken heart I can’t replace in spite of what I try 
               F# Ab         Bbm
But I’ve got a pa-ast like a mask
    F#             Ab           C#
And I sure took my time to understand

When I was young, not long ago, I hid my feelings well
Sometimes I let my heartaches show but I could never tell
And now I find I’ve been blind, insensitive and vain
Cause someone told me long ago “ignore a woman’s pain”
If I could change the fool I’ve been, I know just what’d do 
I’d give her everything I can and make all her dreams come true

Chorus #2:
But I’ve got a past like a mask
And I can see it in her eyes, the lonely nights, the endless lies
The countless time I made her cry when she was by my side
And I’ve got a past like a mask
And I sure took my time to understand

Chorus #1
