Am7               F C   G        C FILL
When he drops you off I will not say
Em      Am          Em            Am
Who was that who so quickly drove away
Am7               F C          G             C FILL
The things you've done and the places you've been
Em              Am                  Em           Am 
When I open the door for you I will not let them in
Am7                 F          C      G      C FILL
As long as you come back to me I will never ask
Em             Am     Em              Am
For you I will be the man in the iron mask

Am7          F        C      G        C FILL     
You said you loved me and it broke my heart
Em                Am       Em             Am
I was always your prisoner right from the start
Am7                      F     C     G               C FILL
The nights you spend without me this house is like a dungeon
Em           Am        Em         Am
And you only return to torture me more
Am7                F       C  G        C FILL
You must have your reasons, I will not ask
Em             Am     Em              Am
For you I will be the man in the iron mask
