I hold you in my arms, [G]
oh there's a band playing
What are those words whispered baby, just as you [D] turn away
[A] Well [G] I saw you last [C] night,
[G] out on the edge of town
I wanna read your mind and know just what I got in this [D] new thing I found
So [Em] tell me what I [G] see,
[Em] when I look [G] into your eyes
[Em] Is that you, [G] [D]
baby, [Em] are just a [C] brilliant [Em]
disguise
I [D] [G]
heard someone call your name, underneath my willow
I saw something tucked in shame, [D] underneath your pillow
Well [G] I tried so hard baby, [C] [G] but I just can't see
What a woman like you, [C] [G]
[D] is doing with me
So [Em] tell me who [G] I see, [C] [Em]
when I look into [G] your eyes
Is that you, [D] baby, [Em] are just a [C] brilliant disguise
[D] I, [G]
now [D] look at me baby, struggling [G] to do everything right
And [C] then it all falls apart, [G] when out go the lights
I'm just [D] a lonely pilgrim, I walk [C] this world in well
I wanna [G] know if it's you I don't trust, cause [Em] I damn [D] sure don't trust myself
[G] Now you play the loving woman, [C] [A] I play [G] the faithful man
Just [D] don't look too [C] close, [G] [D] into the palm of my [A] [D] hand
[G] When we stood at the altar, the gypsy swore our future looked right
But in the wee wee hours, maybe baby, [D] the gypsy lied
So [Em] when you look [G] at me, [C] [Em] you better look hard [G] and look [C] twice
[Em] Is that [G] me, [D] baby, [Em] are [C] just a [Em] brilliant disguise
[G] As, tonight our bed is cold, I'm lost in the darkness of our love
God have mercy on a man, who doubts [A] what he should have
[G] [G]
