Brilliant Disguise Tab

by Bruce Springsteen


CAPO V
Verses: 
       x3
I hold you in my arms 
as the band plays
What are those words whispered baby

                
just as you turn away

      x3
I saw you last night 
out on the edge of town
I wanna read your mind 
and know just what Ive got in this 

    
new thing Ive found

B#m                  
So tell me what I see 
when I look in your eyes
        B#m                                  
Is that you.... baby 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 Ive tried so hard baby but I just cant see
What a woman like you is doing with me
So tell me what I see when I look in your eyes
Is that you baby or just a brilliant disguise

Bride: 
               
Now look at me baby struggling to do everything right
                                  
And then it all falls apart when out go the lights
             
Im just a lonely pilgrim I walk this world in wealth
                                             
I want to know if its you I dont trust cause I damn sure dont trust
Myself

Now you play the loving woman Ill play the faithful man
But just dont look too close into the palm of my hand
We stood at the alter the gypsy swore our future was right
But come the wee wee hours 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

Tonight our bed is cold
Im lost in the darkness of our love
God have mercy on the man
Who doubts what hes sure of
