Look at Me Lyrics

LOOK AT ME by The Waiting
Copyright: 1994 Anastasia Records
This song is so easy to play, but it is alot of fun. Just strum like
there is no tomorrow. This song uses standard tuning, EADGBE. C2 is
the only chord you may not know.
Intro:
Verse:
golden bars of sunlight come sneaking through the shutters
laying stripes on my back like a zebra
sweaty fingers turning pages and clinging to the bed
like it's a bride and I never want to leave her
Paul calls me a saint and the mattress shakes with laughter
and the sheets let out a chuckle while the pillow holds one end
I don't believe a word I read but the man is so convincing
says You're calling me a winner of a game I never win
but with every word I read I feel Your eyes upon me
and I don't mind at all
Chorus:
I love the way You look at me, the way You steer Your eyes
to see the bride beneath the harlot's skin, the virtue
underneath the sin
I love the way You look at me, when You lift the veil and You repeat
Your vow.
(repeat verse chords)
get up for the shower, wash, and scrub, and scour every part
as if a cleaner man could better bear the shame
now I 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
but with every word I read I feel Your eyes upon me
and I don't mind at all
(repeat chorus)
for when You look at me, You see every drop of blood You spent
like the color that comes creeping to my face
it is such sweet embarrassment to see the dowry that You paid
for my cold embrace
but I'll never never never let You go because...
(repeat chorus)
