To me, when you guys are on stage together, and particularly I'm thinking about Brilliant Disguise,
it is just such an emotional _ moment, just the two of you singing that.
It's funny, Patty really transforms a song in a sense that the song's funny.
It's about
the masks that we wear when we initially get together with people, or as we carry on,
how difficult it is to know someone, or to simply know yourself, you know?
But when Patty sings it with me, she turns it into a love song, which is really
_ into a tough-hearted love song, which is really a [E] cool thing, you know?
[F#] Patty changed the [D#] meaning of the song.
Yeah, absolutely.
Changes the meaning of the song [A] when we sing it together completely.
You know?
Let's play a little bit of it.
Oh, I would love it.
Ready, boys?
One, two, three. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ What are those words [E] whispered, [A] baby, _ just [E] as you turn away? _
_ _ Well, [A] I saw you [E] last [A] night, _ oh, I'm on the edge of town.
_ _ I want to read your mind, just what I got [E] in this new [E] thing I found.
_ So [F#m] tell me what I [A] see [D] _ [A] when [F#m] I look [A] in your eyes.
[D] _ _ [A] Is that you, _
[E] baby, [F#m] or just [D] love written in [A] disguise?
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[A] _ [E] I _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ heard somebody call [E] your [A] name _ from underneath our window.
_ I saw something tuck [E] and shake [A] _ _ _
[E] underneath your pillow.
_ _ Well, [A] I tried so hard, baby, _ _ but I just can't see _ _ _
what a woman [E] like you [A] _ _ is [E] doing with me.
_ _ So [F#m] tell me who [A] I see [D] _ [A] when [F#m] I look [A] in your [D] eyes.
_ [A] _
[F#m] Is that _ [A] you, [E] baby, [F#m] or [D] just love written [F#m] in [A] disguise? _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [A] _ Now [E] look at me, baby, _ _ struggling to [A] do everything right.
Oh, and [D] then it all falls apart.
_ Oh, [A] well, now for the last.
_ I'm [E] just a lonely paper.
_ _ I [D] want this world and well, I want to know if [A] it's you I don't trust.
_ I [E] damn sure don't trust myself.
_ Now you play [A] the loving one.
_ _ I play the faithful man.
_ _ _ But just don't look too _ close.
_ Oh, into [E] the palm of my hand.
_ _ Well, [A] we stood at the altar.
The gypsy swore our future was right.
_ Come the way we are, _ maybe, baby, [E] the gypsy lied.
_ _ _ [F#m] So when you [A] look at me, _ _ you better look hard and look _ twice.
_ Is that [F#m] _
[A] me, _ [F#m] baby, or just [D] love written in [A] disguise?
_ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ The night of his call, I'm lost in the darkness of our love.
_ _ God have mercy on a man _ who [E] doubts what he's sure [A] of.
Oh, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ nothing _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ more _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] romantic than that.
Oh, my God, it is such a moment _ as fun. _ _ _ _
