Verse 1:
      G+G   Gsus2Gsus2 C/GC/G  G+G     G+G  Gsus2Gsus2  C/GC/G  G+G
I hold you in my arms,      as the band plays.
        G+G        Gsus2Gsus2 C/GC/G  G+G      D/F#D/F#
What are those words whispered baby,      as you turn away?
G+G       Gsus2Gsus2 C/GC/G  G+G       G+G    Gsus2Gsus2  C/GC/G  G+G
I saw you last night,      out on the edge of town
    G+G     Gsus2Gsus2     C/GC/G     G+G      D/F#D/F#
I wanna read your mind and know just what I' got in this new thing I've found.

Chorus:
      E minorEm   G+G  C majorC G+G     E minorEm      G+G  C majorC G+G
So tell me what I see,   when I look in your eyes.
    E minorEm  G+G  D MajorD   E minorEm     C/GC/G      G+G    D/F#D/F#
Is that you,   baby or just a bril-liant disguise?........

Verse 2:
         G+G     Gsus2Gsus2 C/GC/G  G+G      G+G     Gsus2Gsus2  C/GC/G  G+G
I heard somebody call your name,     from underneath our willow.
        G+G     Gsus2Gsus2 C/GC/G  G+G    D/F#D/F#
I saw something tucked in shame,     underneath your pillow.
     G+G    Gsus2Gsus2  C/GC/G  G+G    G+G     Gsus2Gsus2  C/GC/G  G+G
Well I've tried so hard baby,    but I just can't see,
    G+G     Gsus2Gsus2 C/GC/G  G+G   D/F#D/F#
What a woman like you,       is doing with me.

Chorus:
      E minorEm   G+G  C majorC G+G     E minorEm      G+G   C majorC G+G
So tell me who I see,    when I look in your eyes.
    E minorEm  G+G  D MajorD    E minorEm    C/G*     G+G    D/F#D/F#
Is that you,   baby or just a bril-liant disguise?........

Bridge:
D/F#D/F#                 G+G
Now look at me babe, struggling to do everything right!
         C majorC         G+G
And then it all falls apart, oh and out go the lights.
      D/F#D/F#            C/GC/G
I'm just a lonely pilgrim! I walk this world in wealth.
           G+G
I wanna know if it's you I don't trust,
          D/F#D/F#
'cause I damn sure don't trust myself.

Verse 3:
           G+G   Gsus2Gsus2 C/GC/G G+G       G+G       Gsus2Gsus2 C/GC/G
And now you play the loving woman,     I play the faithful man.
     G+G       Gsus2Gsus2  C/GC/G  G+G      D/F#D/F#
But just don't look too close,      into the palm of my hand.
          G+G   Gsus2Gsus2 C/GC/G G+G           G+G     Gsus2Gsus2  C/G*  G+G
And we stood at the alter,       the gypsy swore our future was right.
       G+G                 D/F#D/F#
But come the wee wee hours, well maybe baby the gypsy lied.

Verse 4:
      E minorEm   G+G  C majorC G+G       E minorEm         G+G   C majorC G+G
So when you look at me,    you better look hard and look twice.
      E minorEm  G+G D/F#D/F#   E minorEm   C majorC      G+G   D/F#D/F#
Is that me baby     or just a brilliant disguise?........

Verse 5:
      G+G   Gsus2Gsus2 C/GC/G G+G              G+G   Gsus2Gsus2 C/GC/G G+G
Tonight our bed is cold.     I'm lost in the darkness of our love.
     G+G      Gsus2Gsus2 C/GC/G G+G         D/F#D/F#     G+G  Gsus2Gsus2 C/GC/G G+G
God have mercy on the man,      who doubts what he's sure of.
