D A D A D A Bm E 

 
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                A 
Sweaty fingers turning pages, and clinging to the bed 
              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 
           Bm                          C#m 
But with everyword I read I feel Your eyes upon me 
              E 
And I don't mind at all 
 

 
   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 vitue underneath the sin 
  E                A                      D               F#m    E         D 
I love the way You look at me, when You lift the veil and You repeat Your vow 

D A D A D A Bm E 
 

 
D               A        D                   A           D 
Get up for the shower, wash, and scrub and scour every part 
                 A            Bm            E 
As if a cleaner man could better bear the shame 
D                          A                 D 
Now, I move out into the sunlight, a frightened fool 
            A              D                   A              Bm            E 
There's a reason for my fright, for I'm a messenger who's forgetting why he came 

           Bm                          C#m 
But with everyword I read I feel Your eyes upon me 
              E 
And I don't mind at all 
 

 
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 vitue underneath the sin 
  D                A                      D                F#m  E          D 
I love the way You look at me, when You lift the veil and You repeat Your vow 

Single Strum Interlude 
                     Bm                         D 
For when You look at me, You see every drop of blood You spent 
           E                              F#m 
Like the color that comes creeping to my face 
                     Bm                      C#m               E (build Up)    D 
It is such sweet embarrassment to see the dowry that You paid for my cold embrace 
A          D                A          D    A     Bm         E 
                            But I'll never never Never let you go because... 

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 vitue underneath the sin 
  D                A                      D                F#m  E          D 
I love the way You look at me, when You lift the veil and You repeat Your vow
