Verse 1:
      G   Gsus2 C/G  G     G  Gsus2  C/G  G
I hold you in my arms,      as the band plays.
        G        Gsus2 C/G  G      D/F#
What are those words whispered baby,      as you turn away?
G       Gsus2 C/G  G       G    Gsus2  C/G  G
I saw you last night,      out on the edge of town
    G     Gsus2     C/G     G      D/F#
I wanna read your mind and know just what I' got in this new thing I've found.

Chorus:
      Em   G  C G     Em      G  C G
So tell me what I see,   when I look in your eyes.
    Em  G  D   Em     C/G      G    D/F#
Is that you,   baby or just a bril-liant disguise?........

Verse 2:
         G     Gsus2 C/G  G      G     Gsus2  C/G  G
I heard somebody call your name,     from underneath our willow.
        G     Gsus2 C/G  G    D/F#
I saw something tucked in shame,     underneath your pillow.
     G    Gsus2  C/G  G    G     Gsus2  C/G  G
Well I've tried so hard baby,    but I just can't see,
    G     Gsus2 C/G  G   D/F#
What a woman like you,       is doing with me.

Chorus:
      Em   G  C G     Em      G   C G
So tell me who I see,    when I look in your eyes.
    Em  G  D    Em    C/G*     G    D/F#
Is that you,   baby or just a bril-liant disguise?........

Bridge:
D/F#                 G
Now look at me babe, struggling to do everything right!
         C         G
And then it all falls apart, oh and out go the lights.
      D/F#            C/G
I'm just a lonely pilgrim! I walk this world in wealth.
           G
I wanna know if it's you I don't trust,
          D/F#
'cause I damn sure don't trust myself.

Verse 3:
           G   Gsus2 C/G G       G       Gsus2 C/G
And now you play the loving woman,     I play the faithful man.
     G       Gsus2  C/G  G      D/F#
But just don't look too close,      into the palm of my hand.
          G   Gsus2 C/G G           G     Gsus2  C/G*  G
And we stood at the alter,       the gypsy swore our future was right.
       G                 D/F#
But come the wee wee hours, well maybe baby the gypsy lied.

Verse 4:
      Em   G  C G       Em         G   C G
So when you look at me,    you better look hard and look twice.
      Em  G D/F#   Em   C      G   D/F#
Is that me baby     or just a brilliant disguise?........

Verse 5:
      G   Gsus2 C/G G              G   Gsus2 C/G G
Tonight our bed is cold.     I'm lost in the darkness of our love.
     G      Gsus2 C/G G         D/F#     G  Gsus2 C/G G
God have mercy on the man,      who doubts what he's sure of.
