                       G 
Goddamn you look holy

Bm             C
Hit from behind with light

        G               Bm
You're a painting of a saint

        C
And I'm nervous, stumbling over my lines

G       Bm        C
When I tell you I love you
When we stare at Catalina
G       Bm           C
The city lost to the sea

                        Am      D
Carried out by the tides
You were the one thing I got right G Bm C x2
                        G
Goddamn you look holy

Bm             C
Bathed in the January light

G                       Bm
On the floor of our new bedroom

C
On the carpet with the window open wide

G            Bm        C
When you tell me you love me
I can actually see it
G               Bm          C
Your breath frozen in the air

                            Am D
Newborn droplets of ice
You were the one thing I got right [Chorus]
C               G               
I'm measuring heartbeats and miles away

Em
You held me together

D
I used to burst and decay

C               G
We got off the airplane

Em
A couple of runaways

        Am
I was hoping you'd stay

C
Could you stay?

G       D       C
You were the obvious one

C
From a taxi cab in Chelsea

Am
Out past Salvation Mountain

G       D       C
You were the holiest one

C
From a walk along the highline

Am
Out to Wicker Park in August

C       D
You were the obvious one

Em      D       C
From your Upper East Side dorm room

Bm
To the South West Marin Headlands

Am
You smile into the sand

D
Goddamn I hate leaving
G
Bm     C
Another early flight

        G       Bm
I ran the dishwasher this morning

        C
I wanted there to be clean plates for you tonight

G       Bm     C
I've grown used to your perfume
It hangs in the morning light
G       Bm     C
Wake me up before you leave for work

        Am D
Kiss me goodbye
You were the one thing I got right [Chorus]
C               G               
I'm measuring heartbeats and miles away

You held me together

I used to burst and decay

We got off the airplane

A couple of runaways

        Am
I was hoping you'd stay

C
Could you stay?

C               G               
I'm measuring heartbeats and miles away

You held me together

I used to burst and decay

C               G
We got off the airplane

Em
A couple of runaways

I’m glad that you stayed
