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