Neath our willow, I saw something
Tucked in shame under-

Neath your pillow,         well I've

Tried so hard baby, but I
Just can't see what a 
Woman like you is
Doing with me, so tell me

who I see when I
Look in your eyes, is that
You baby or just a
Brilliant disguise

|G  Gadd2  |Gadd2sus  G     |
                         Now
|D5            |                       |
Look at me baby        struggling to do 
|G         Gadd2   |G    Gadd2        |
Everything right           and then it
|C             |Cmaj7   C     |
All falls apart           when
|G         Gadd2 |     G            |
Out go the lights         I'm just a
|D5           |                   |
Lonely pilgrim         I walk this
|C             |                            |
World in wealth       I want to know if it's
|D5              |                             |
You I don't trust,     'cause I damn sure don't

|G      Gadd2  |Gadd2sus   G  |G  Gadd2 |Gadd2sus   G                  | 
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 alter, the gypsy swore our
Future was bright but
Come the wee wee hours, well maybe baby the
Gypsy lied, so when you 

Look at me, you better
Look hard and look twice, is that
Me baby or just a
Brilliant disguise

|G  Gadd2  |Gadd2sus  G  |G  Gadd2  |Gadd2sus  G              |
                                                   Tonight our
Bed is cold, I'm lost in the
Darkness of our love, God have
Mercy on the man who 
|D5                  |
Doubts what he's sure 
|G  Gadd2  |Gadd2sus  G  |G  Gadd2  |Gadd2sus  G  |
Of

Repeat until fade

I saw you last night            out on the edge of town

I wanna read your mind    to know just what I've got 
         E              E     Esus2   E
in this new thing I've found

                  A        Asus2 Asus4 A            A         Asus2 Asus4 A
I heard somebody call your name          from underneath our willow
                 A       Asus2 Asus4 A   E             E   Esus2  E
I saw something tucked in shame    underneath your pillow
            A           Asus2 Asus4 A         A         Asus2 Asus4 A
Well I've tried so hard baby           but I just can't see
        A         Asus2  Asus4 A            E          E  Esus  E
What a woman like you                   is doing with me

            F#m   A   D  A            F#m         A       D   A
So tell me who I see          when I look in your eyes

            D           D  Dsus2 D         A           Asus2 Asus4  A
And then it all falls apart           when out go the lights
            E      E     Esus2 E              D        D    Dsus2 D
I'm just a lonely pilgrim        I walk this world in wealth
                     A        Asus2 Asus4 A                E           Esus2
I wana know if it's you I don't trust  'cause I damn sure don't trust myself

E                 A      Asus2  Asus4 A                A     Asus2 Asus4 A
Now you play the loving woman           I'll play the faithful man
                A        Asus2 Asus4 A            E          E  Esus2 E
But just don't look too close           into the palm of my hand
         A        Asus2 Asus4 A                      A       Asus2 Asus4 A
We stood at the altar           the gypsy swore our future was right
              A       Asus2         Asus4  A        E     E  Esus E
But come the wee wee hours     Well maybe baby the gypsy lied

            F#m      A D         A          F#m             A    D  A
So when you look at me      you better look hard and look twice
       F#m-A-E-      F#m     Hm          A E A  Asus2  Asus4  A
Is that me baby   or just a brilliant disguise

Tonight our bed is cold          I'm lost in the darkness of our love
