Intro:
C2GC2GVerse:
C2GC2G
golden bars of sunlight come sneaking through the shutters
C2GAm
laying stripes on my back like a zebra
C2GC2G
sweaty fingers turning pages and clinging to the bed
C2GAm
like it's a bride and I never want to leave her
C2GC2G
Paul calls me a saint and the mattress shakes with laughter
C2GAm
and the sheets let out a chuckle while the pillow holds one end
C2GC2G
I don't believe a word I read but the man is so convincing
C2GAm
says You're calling me a winner of a game I never win
EmAm
but with every word I read I feel Your eyes upon me
CD
and I don't mind at all
Chorus:
GC2EmD
I love the way You look at me, the way You steer Your eyes
GC2Em
to see the bride beneath the harlot's skin, the virtue
D
underneath the sin
GC2EmD
I love the way You look at me, when You lift the veil and You repeat
C2GC2GC2G
Your vow.
(repeat Verse chords)
get up for the shower, wash, and scrub, and scour every part
as if a cleaner man could better bear the shame
now I move out into the sunlight, a frightened fool
there's reason for my fright, for I'm a messenger who's forgetting
why he came
but with every word I read I feel Your eyes upon me
and I don't mind at all
(repeat Chorus)
EmAm
for when You look at me, You see every drop of blood You spent
EmAm
like the color that comes creeping to my face
EmAmC
it is such sweet embarrassment to see the dowry that You paid
DC2G
for my cold embrace
C2GC2
but I'll never never never let You go because...
