Theme From Charade Music by Henry Mancini Lyrics by Johnny Mercer Bm-F#7-Bm-F#7 Bm When we played our charade F#7 We were like children posing Em F#7 Em F#7 Playing at games, acting out names Em Gm F#7 Bm Guessing the parts we played Bm Oh what a hit we made F#7 We came on next to closing Em F#7 Em F#7 Best on the bill, lovers until Em Gm F#7 Bm Love left the masquerade Em7 A7 Dmaj7 Bm Fate seemed to pull the strings Em7 A7 Dmaj7Ebdim I turned and you were gone Em A7 Dmaj7 Bm While from the darkened wings E7 Em7 F#7 The music box played on Bm Sad little serenade F#7 Song of my heart's composing Em F#7 Em F#7 I hear it still, I always will Em Gm Bm Best of the bill, charade.
