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

                                                   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

You know going by the official video this is close to what Bruce is playing. I'd rate it more accurate than the others showing Capo V. The G - Gadd2 - Gadd2sus progession sounds and looks spot on. Great work man. 5 stars
