[Verse 1]
C G6
Goddamn you look holy
Am7
Hit from behind with light
C G6
You're a painting of a saint
Am7
And I'm nervous, stumbling over my lines
C G6 Am7
When I tell you I love you
C
When we stare at Catalina
G6 Am7
The city lost to the sea
Dm Dsus2 G
Carried out by the tides
You were the one thing I got right
C G6 Am7 C G6 Am7
[Verse 2]
C G6
Goddamn you look holy
Am7
Bathed in the January light
C G6
On the floor of our new bedroom
Am7
On the carpet with the window open wide
C G6 Am7
When you tell me you love me
I can actually see it
C G6 Am7
Your breath frozen in the air
Dm Dsus2 G
Newborn droplets of ice
You were the one thing I got right
[Chorus]
F C Am7
I'm measuring heartbeats and miles away
G
You held me together
F
I used to burst and decay
C
We got off the airplane
Am7
A couple of runaways
G
I was hoping you'd stay
F
Could you stay?
[Bridge]
C G Am
You were the obvious one
G
From a taxi cab in Chelsea
C
Out past Salvation Mountain
G Am
You were the obvious one
G
From a walk along the highline
F
Out to Wicker Park in August
G
You were the obvious one
C Bm Am
From your Upper East Side dorm room
G F
To the South West Marin Headlands
G
You smile into the sand
C
Goddamn I hate leaving
[Verse 3]
G6 Am7
Another early flight
C G6
I ran the dishwasher this morning
Am7
I wanted there to be clean plates for you tonight
C G6 Am7
I've grown used to your perfume
C
It hangs in the morning light
G6 Am7
Wake me up before you leave for work
Dm G
Kiss me goodbye
F
You were the one thing I got right
[Chorus]
C Am7
I'm measuring heartbeats and miles away
G
You held me together
F
I used to burst and decay
C
We got off the airplane
Am7
A couple of runaways
G
I was hoping you'd stay
Could you stay?
[Chorus (single strums)]
F C Am7
I'm measuring heartbeats and miles away
G
You held me together
F
I used to burst and decay
C
We got off the airplane
Am7
A couple of runaways
G
I'm glad that you stayed
