Intro:
[C2] [G] [C2] [G]
Verse:
[C2]golden bars of [G]sunlight come [C2]sneaking through the [G]shutters
laying [C2]stripes on my [G]back like a [Am]zebra
[C2]sweaty fingers turning [G]pages and [C2]clinging to the [G]bed
like it's a [C2]bride and I [G]never want to [Am]leave her
[C2]Paul calls me a [G]saint and the [C2]mattress shakes with [G]laughter
and the [C2]sheets let out a [G]chuckle while the [Am]pillow holds one end
[C2]I don't believe a [G]word I read but t[C2]he man is so [G]convincing
says You're [C2]calling me a [G]winner of a [Am]game I never win
but with [Em]every word I read I feel You[Am]r eyes upon me
and I don't [C]mind at [D]all
Chorus:
[G]I love the way Yo[C2]u look at me, the [Em]way You steer You[D]r eyes
to see the [G]bride beneath the [C2]harlot's skin, the [Em]virtue
[D]underneath the sin
I [G]love the way You[C2] look at me, when [Em]You lift the veil and [D]You repeat
Yo[C2]ur vow.[G][C2][G][C2][G]
(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)
[Em]for when You look at me, You see every drop of[Am] blood You spent
like the [Em]color that comes creeping to my [Am]face
it is[Em] such sweet e[Am]mbarrassment to see the [C]dowry that You paid
[D]for my cold e[C2]mbrac[G]e
but I'll [C2]never [G]never [C2]never let You go because...
(repeat chorus)
