A I hold you in my arms as the band plays What are those words whispered baby E just as you turn away I saw you last night out on the edge of town I wanna read your mind to know just what I've got in this new thing I've found Chorus: F#m D A D A So tell me what I see F#m A D A when I look in your eyes F#m A E F#m Is that you, baby D A/C# E A or just a brilliant disguise I heard somebody call your name from underneath our willow I saw something tucked in shame underneath your pillow Well I've tried so hard, baby, but I just can't see What a woman like you is doing with me Chorus: So tell me who I see when I look in your eyes Is that you, baby, or just a brilliant disguise? E Now look at me baby A struggling to do everything right D And then it all falls apart A when out go the lights E I'm just a lonely pilgrim D I walk this world in wealth A I want to know if it's you I don't trust E 'cause I damn sure don't trust myself Now you play the loving woman, I'll play the faithful man But just don't look too close into the palm of my hand We stood at the altar, the gypsy swore our future was right But come the wee wee hours, well maybe, baby, the gypsy lied Chorus: So when you look at me, you better look hard and look twice Is that me, baby, or just a brilliant disguise?
