Key: G
Introduction:
D
Goddamn you look holy
F#m G
Hit from behind with light
D F#m
You're a painting of a saint
G
And I'm nervous, stumbling over my lines
D F#m G
When I tell you I love you
When we stare at Catalina
D F#m G
The city lost to the sea
Em A
Carried out by the tides
You were the one thing I got right
D
Goddamn you look holy
F#m G
Bathed in the January light
D F#m
On the floor of our new bedroom
G
On the carpet with the window open wide
D F#m G
When you tell me you love me
I can actually see it
D F#m G
Your breath frozen in the air
Em A
Newborn droplets of ice
You were the one thing I got right
G D
I'm measuring heartbeats and miles away
Bm
You held me together
A
I used to burst and decay
G D
We got off the airplane
Bm
A couple of runaways
Em
I was hoping you'd stay
G
Could you stay?
D A G
You were the obvious one
G
From a taxi cab in Chelsea
Em
Out past Salvation Mountain
D A G
You were the holiest one
G
From a walk along the highline
Em
Out to Wicker Park in August
G A
You were the obvious one
Bm A G
From your Upper East Side dorm room
F#m
To the South West Marin Headlands
Em
You smile into the sand
A
Goddamn I hate leaving
F#m G
Another early flight
D F#m
I ran the dishwasher this morning
G
I wanted there to be clean plates for you tonight
D F#m G
I've grown used to your perfume
It hangs in the morning light
D F#m G
Wake me up before you leave for work
Em A
Kiss me goodbye
You were the one thing I got right
G D
I'm measuring heartbeats and miles away
Bm
You held me together
A
I used to burst and decay
G D
We got off the airplane
Bm
A couple of runaways
Em
I was hoping you'd stay
G
Could you stay?
G D
I'm measuring heartbeats and miles away
Bm
You held me together
A
I used to burst and decay
G D
We got off the airplane

A couple of runaways

I’m glad that you stayed
