 I used to know everything about you

But today when I tried to point you out
   F#
To one of my friends
               B
I'd picked the wrong girl again
                     F#
Don't see you in the crowd anymore
                       B
I think it's you but I can't be sure
                  E (w/riff 1 x2)
You're wearing disguises
                       F#
Occasionally a girl surprises me
         B               D
When she turns out to be you.
           E (w/riff 1 x4)
Wearing disguises.

E
 I don't think you want me to see you ever again
                                  F#
Just today I saw you dressed as a flower-bed
                    B
Last week you had a wig on your head
                      F#
Mis-directing traffic in the street
                        B
And your shoes were too big for your feet
                  E (w/riff 1 x2)
You're wearing disguises
                       F#
Occasionally a girl surprises me
         B               D
When she turns out to be you.
           E (w/riff 1 x4)
Wearing disguises.
