I hold you in  my arms,           as the band plays.
               G               Gsus2 C/G   G           D/F#
What are those words whispered baby,            as you turn away?
G              Gsus2  C/G    G             G       Gsus2   C/G   G
I saw you last night,           out on the edge of town
        G         Gsus2          C/G          G           D/F#
I wanna read your mind  and know just what I' got in this new thing I've found.

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

Verse 2:
                 G         Gsus2  C/G   G           G         Gsus2   C/G   G
I heard somebody call your name,          from underneath our willow.
                G         Gsus2  C/G   G       D/F#
I saw something tucked in shame,          underneath your pillow.
          G        Gsus2    C/G   G        G          Gsus2   C/G   G
Well I've tried so hard baby,        but I just can't see,
       G          Gsus2  C/G   G      D/F#
What a woman like you,             is doing with me.

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

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

Verse 3:
                     G      Gsus2  C/G  G              G              Gsus2 C/G
And now you play the loving woman,          I play the faithful man.
         G              Gsus2   C/G   G            D/F#
But just don't look too close,            into the palm of my hand.
                    G     Gsus2  C/G  G                     G          Gsus2   C/G*   G
And we stood at the alter,              the gypsy swore our future was right.
             G                                  D/F#
But come the wee wee hours, well maybe baby the gypsy lied.

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

Tonight our bed is cold.          I'm lost in the darkness of our love.
         G            Gsus2  C/G  G                  D/F#          G   Gsus2  C/G  G
God have mercy on the man,           who doubts what he's sure of.
