The Ruse

Tom:
  D                    F#
Maybe there's another way
                          D
Another role to play here
             F#m
To keep the press and the desperate mothers at bay
                                     C
We can change the story, What do you say?

[DAPHNE]
                                 D
What are you suggesting, Your Grace?

[BM ON]
N.C.
We convince them there’s a flame between us

[DAPHNE]
Bm
Between us?

[BM ON]
                                                C
And you will be the diamond of the season once again

[DAPHNE]
N.C.
And you'll have reinstated your freedom

[BM ON]
                               D
We can convince them there's a flame
                     Bm7
That since we met our hearts were set ablaze
    Bm          C
And we will be exactly what they say we are
N.C.
Me, unavailable
     D             Bm         Bm7          C
You? Desirable

[BM ON, spoken]

Look me in the eyes. If this is to work, we must appear madly in love. Dance with me, Miss

Perfect

[DAPHNE, spoken]
                    Cm         Db
Not so bad yourself

[SOCIETY]
                  Eb
Could there be a flame?
                     Cm7
And could she be the one to change his pace?
                     Db
And they are sure to be the talk of all the town
    Dbm                Fm          Eb
He’s unavailable and she's desirable

[PRINCE FDDE RICK]
Ebm             Dbm
She must be mine
                 F#
She must be my bride

[CD SBDA ]
Why her?
        E
Why not me?
       D#m
Why not I?
                          C#m
When he looks her in the eyes
F#                           E
Could she have won the most coveted prize?

[AD Y WHISTLEC WN]
Bb                Eb
It's clear as day that there's a flame
                                  Ebm      Cm
A spark that must have caught them by surprise
                    Db
They seem to have enchanted one another's hearts
                                 Eb   Cm
He's unavailable and she's desirable
                   Db
She's a diamond once more
Who would have known?
           Eb
It must be fate
