[intro]
D A D A D A Bm E
D A D A D A Bm E

[verse 1]
D A D A
Golden bars of sunlight come sneaking through the shutters

D A Bm E
Laying stripes on my back like a zebra.

D A D
Sweaty fingers turning pages, and clinging to the bed

A D A Bm E
Like it's a bride and I never want to leave her.

D A D A
Paul calls me a saint and the mattress shakes with laughter

D A Bm E
And the sheets let out a chuckle while the pillow holds one in.

D A D A
I don't believe a word I read, but the man is so convincing

D A Bm E
Says You're calling me a winner of a game I never win.

[pre-chorus]
F#m C#m
But with every word I read I feel Your eyes upon me

E
And I don't mind at all.

[chorus]
D A D A
I love the way You look at me, the way You steer Your eyes

D A Bm E
To see the bride beneath the harlot's skin, the virtue underneath the sin.

D A D Bm E D A
I love the way You look at me, when You lift the veil and You repeat Your vow.

D A D A Bm E

[verse 2]
Get up for the shower, wash, and scrub, and scour every part
As if a cleaner man could better bear the shame.
Now, 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.

[repeat pre-chorus]
[repeat chorus ]


[bridge]
F#m D
For when you look at me, You see every drop of blood You spent.

C#m F#m
Like the color that comes creeping to my face.

D E D A
It is such sweet embarrassment to see the dowry that You paid for my cold embrace.

D A D A Bm E
But I'll never, never, never let you go because...

[repeat chorus]
