G             C        G           C    C/B  Am
You sure look fine tonight  in the beer sign light
    D                             G           C         G
Why did you seem surprised when I saw through your disguise
G        C            G         C      C/B   Am
All your friends were there and no one had a care
D                                               G   Bm Em Eb
They all just looked away in this Honky Tonk Masquerade
D                                 G    Bm Em  Eb
You should have known I knew all along
D                                     G   Bm Em  Eb
That I could see through you right or wrong
D
I didn't need a clue
         G    Bm      Em   Em/D
I didn't even have to ask
A7                                 D
You saw your own reflection in the glass
G           C       G           C           C/B Am
I'd like to see you home  but I know you're not alone
D                               G       C            G
You seem to fit right in as you tell me where you've been
G               C                G          C        C/B    Am
You say there's not that much to tell but I know you oh too well
D                                               G   Bm  Em  Eb
Your eyes give you away in this Honky Tonk Masquerade
D                                G  Bm Em Eb
You should have known I knew all along
D                                     G  Bm Em Eb
That I could see through you right or wrong
D  
I didn't need a clue.
         G    Bm      Em  Em/D
I didn't even have to ask
A7                                 D   
You saw your own reflection in the glass
G             C       G             C           C/B  Am
You sure look fine tonight, they're turning out the lights
D                                 G      C       G
Why did you hold my sleeve when I said I had to leave
G          C     G           C          C/B    Am    
I hoped it never showed, but that's the way it goes
D                                                  G  Bm Em Eb
As the lights begin to fade on this Honky Tonk Masquerade

D    G
