You In January

                        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  F#m  G  D  F#m  G )

                        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

( D )

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
Bm
A couple of runaways
G
I’m glad that you stayed
