You In January Chords

(ver. 2)
The Wonder Years
[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
