[A]
I hold you in my arms, it's a bad play.
But all those words whispered, baby, just [E] as you turn away.
[A] Saw you last night, out on the edge of town.
I want to read your mind and know just [E] what I've got in this new thing I found.
So [A] tell me what I see [D] [A] when [A] I look in your [D] eyes.
[A] Is [A] it you [E] or [F#m] just [D] a breeze in [F#m] the sky?
[E] [A] I heard [Bm] [A] somebody call your name from underneath our willow.
I saw something tucked in shame underneath [E] your pillow.
Well, [A] I tried so hard, baby, but I just can't see.
Oh, what a woman like you is [E] doing with me.
So [A] tell me who I see [A] when [A] I look in your [A] eyes.
Is that [F#m] you [A]
[F#m] or just [D] a breeze in the [F#m] sky?
[E] I
[A] heard [E] somebody call your name from [A] underneath [D] our willow.
[A] I saw something tucked [E] in shame underneath your pillow.
I'm a lonely fellow.
I want [D] this world and wealth.
I want to know if [A] it's you I'll trust.
Cause I dance [E] so don't trust myself.
Now you play [A] the loving woman, I'll play the faithful man.
But just don't look too close into [E] the palm of my hand.
Well, we [A] stood at the altar.
The gypsy swore our future was right.
But come the wee wee hours, or maybe, baby, [E] the gypsy lied.
So when [A] you look at me, [A] you better look hard and look twice.
[A] Is that [A] me, [F#m] baby, or just a [D] breeze in the [F#m] sky?
[E] [A]
Tonight our bed is cold.
Lost in the darkness of our love.
God has mercy on man.
Who doubts [E] what he's so good at.
[A]
