[Intro]

G    Gadd9 Gsus4  G    x3

[Verse]

G                   Gadd9 Gsus4   G              Gadd9 Gsus4
I hold you in my arms            as the band plays
G                                Gadd9 Gsus4                  Dsus2
What are those words whispered baby        just as you turn away

G                   Gadd9 Gsus4   G                  Gadd9 Gsus4
I saw you last night            out on the edge of town
G                   Gadd9 Gsus4   G              Gadd9 Gsus4
I wanna read your mind           and know just what
                 Dsus2
I've got in this new thing I've found

[Verse]

           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   D
Is that you  baby or just a brilliant disguise

G    Gadd9 Gsus4  G    x2

[Bridge]

D                                      G
Now look at me baby struggling to do everything right
                  C               G
And then it all falls apart and out go the lights
                    D                         C
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
'Cause I damn sure don't trust myself

[Verse]

G                          Gadd9 Gsus4
Now you play the loving woman
G                        Gadd9 Gsus4
I'll play the faithful man
G                          Gadd9 Gsus4
But just don't look too close
G                D
Into the palm of my hand
G                   Gadd9 Gsus4
We stood at the alter
G                               Gadd9 Gsus4
The gypsy swore our future was right
G                                       D
But come the wee wee hours maybe baby the gypsy lied

[Verse]

             Em    G C G          Em                G C G
So when you look at me you better look hard and look twice
          Em G D   Em      C            G    D
Is that me baby or just a brilliant disguise?

G Gadd9 Gsus4  G   x2

[Verse]

G                       Gadd9 Gsus4
Tonight our bed is cold
G                                  Gadd9 Gsus4
I'm lost in the darkness of our love
G                       Gadd9 Gsus4
God have mercy on the man
                D            G      Gadd9 Gsus4
Who doubts what he's sure of

[Outro]
