Intro:

C# minorC#m EMaj7Emaj7 BB F#/A# G#7/B#
      C# minorC#m
What the ?
  EMaj7Emaj7         BB F#/A# G#7/B#
But I never gave her a ring
    C# minorC#m         EMaj7Emaj7  BB F#/A# G#7/B#
So then, why’s she giving me a ring?
N.C.
 Oh shit.

Verse 1:
N.C.       C# minorC#m       EMaj7Emaj7
What could olivia see in me? In cesario?
    BB           F#F#
Does cesario have something I didn’t have before?
  C# minorC#m       EMaj7Emaj7
And what do I see in orsino?
   BB
He’s selfish, depressed and
F#F#   G#7G#7      C# minorC#m
clearly obsessed with olivia!
     EMaj7Emaj7  BB
But he’s so damn dreamy
  F#F#     G#7G#7
And passionate too
  C# minorC#m          EMaj7Emaj7
My brother is the one who always gets the girl
  BB               F#F#        G#7G#7
And I’m the girl who’s never had a chance to get the guy
  C# minorC#m           G#G#
But now that I’m wearing the pants
    C# minorC#m      EMaj7Emaj7
I’m in love with the guy
         BB
And the girl loves me
     Amaj7Amaj7
When they look, who do they see?

Chorus:
   C# minorC#m        G#7G#7
Oh disguise, you are the devil’s blessing
B6B6        F#F#  G#7G#7     C# minorC#m
You’ve cast me in this strange new role
        G#7G#7
Is this costume getting me wrong
      B6B6              F#F#  G#7G#7
Or letting loose what’s been in me all along?
     C# minorC#m        G#7G#7    B6B6 F#F#
Do these clothes conceal or reveal my soul?
    C# minorC#m       G#7G#7
Oh disguise, which of us is in control?

C# minorC#m EMaj7Emaj7 BB
F#/A# G#7/B#

verse 2:
  C# minorC#m           EMaj7Emaj7
My brother is the one who everybody eyes
 BB               F#F#      G#7G#7
I never understood it, cause he barely tries
  C# minorC#m         EMaj7Emaj7
But now that i’ve walked miles in his shoes
 BB            F#F#      Amaj7Amaj7
I finally see why he never seems to lose!
     F# minorF#m     BB
I feel so seen as a guy
       E MajorE    B/D#B/D#   C#C#
People move aside when I walk by
     F# minorF#m       BB
I felt so veiled as a girl
  E MajorE    B/D#B/D# C#C#
Invisible to the world
N.C      C# minorC#m  C#m/B Amaj7Amaj7
It was always ‘look, don’t touch’
N.C.     C# minorC#m C#m/B
No it didn’t suit me
Amaj7Amaj7
much
       E/G#    F#7b5/A      D9D9
Why has this power in me never been given a chance?
N.C.                     G#5G#5
Is it as simple as putting on a pair of pants?

Chorus:
   C# minorC#m        G#7G#7       B6B6
Oh disguise, you are the devil’s blessing
         F#F#  G#7G#7     C# minorC#m
You’ve cast me in this wild new role
         G#7G#7
Does this freshly fearless skin
    B6B6             F#F#  G#7G#7
Fit me better than the one I’ve been in?
  C# minorC#m   G#7G#7         B6B6   F#F#
A minorAm I finally shedding a well-worn shawl?
   C# minorC#m C#m/B
A minorAm I more my-
 Amaj7Amaj7 N.C.    C# minorC#m  C#m/B  D9D9 A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m A augmentedA
-self now that i’m not myself at all?

Bridge:
A augmentedA   E MajorE
If I’m a girl again
     F# minorF#m       E MajorE       A augmentedA
Would he care what I have to say anymore?
  E MajorE              F#7F#7
Or would I just be a prize for him to win?
         A augmentedA     E MajorE   F# minorF#m
Would I even be a woman he’d adore?
E MajorE          F#m7b5F#m7b5
Would I be enough in my own skin?
      C# minorC#m    BB      EMaj7Emaj7 Emaj7/F#
Or was the old me only a costume too?
C# minorC#m                 EMaj7Emaj7
Who am I besides how I look to you?
BB                  F#F# G#7G#7
Who am I besides how I look to you?
    C# minorC#m EMaj7Emaj7 Badd9Badd9 F#F#
Who am I?

Chorus:
   C# minorC#m     G#7G#7
Oh disguise you are the devil’s blessing
    B6B6        F#F#    G#G#      C# minorC#m G#G#
You’ve left me undressed and second-guessing how
           B6B6    G#G#  N.C.
I’ve seen myself from both sides now
   C# minorC#m   G#G#         B6B6  F#F#
Is it half of each bringing love my way?
   C# minorC#m  G#G#
Oh disguise

N.C.        C# minorC#m EMaj7Emaj7 BB
Maybe just one more day

F#/A# G#7/B# C# minorC#m
