Brilliant Disguise Tab

I think this is nearly the same like the first version, but it's much easier to read.

Intro 2x:                  

                                      
I hold you in my arms            as the band plays 
                                                   
What are those words whispered baby     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

                                                    
So tell me what I see          when I look in your eyes
       ---                               
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 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

                                                  
Now look at me baby         struggling to do everything right
                                                 
And then it all falls apart           when out go the lights
                                                   
I'm just a lonely pilgrim        I walk this world in wealth
                                                          
I wana know if it's you I don't trust  '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

                                                         
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          I'm lost in the darkness of our love
                                                  
God have mercy on the man          Who doubts what he's sure of
