The Saint That Is Just Me

• D

Intro: D D2 Dsus D Gadd2 (2x) 

  D                            Gadd2 
I thought I'd be heroic and inspiring. 
             Dadd2                      Gadd2  
I wanted to offer you the greatest sacrifice. 
Bm                                  A 
  Like all the saints who'd gone before me, 
           Gadd2                      A7sus 
I tried to prove my love for you, and so to gain the prize. 
   D                             Gadd2 
I thought I'd be a martyr like Cecilia. 
             D                      Gadd2 
I hoped I'd disappear like Saint Therese, 
           Bm                                  A 
Or wear a hidden crown of thorns like Rose of Lima, 
    Gadd2             Asus 
To heal the sick and raise the dead. 


          Bm                          Asus A 
When you hung upon the cross looking at me, 
            Gadd2                   A7sus 
You didn't die so I would try to be somebody else. 
    D A/C# Gadd2    D       Gadd2     A7     D   D2 Dsus D Gsus2 
You died so I could be the saint that is just me.

  D                                Gadd2 
I wanted to be poor and free like Francis, 
    D                                Gadd2 
To cut off my long hair like lovely Clare. 
   Bmadd2                     A 
To be faithful like Mother Teresa in the darkness, 
    Gadd2                   Asus 
Lord, won't you make me just like her? 
            D                             Gadd2 
I tried to kneel for hours in the chapel corner, 
          D                              Gadd2 
To persevere like Paul with all my sleepless nights, 
         Bm                                   A 
To stay awake and trim my lamp with ten wise virgins, 
    Gadd2                         Aadd4                  
To really give the devil a good fight. 



          Bm                          Asus A 
When you hung upon the cross looking at me, 
            Gadd2                   A7sus 
You didn't die so I would try to be somebody else. 
    D A/C# Gadd2    D       Gadd2     A7     Bm 
You died so I could be the saint that is just me. 
  Dmaj7/A       G            Aadd4 
Just me, you died just for me. 
    Bmadd7      Dmaj7/A  Gadd2         Asus 
Just me, just me,   you died just for me. 


     D                          Gadd2 
You saw that I was perfectly imperfect. 
   D/A                         G      Bmadd2/A 
O happy fault, the sin of Adam's pride. 
                        A 
That's the reason that you became man, 
     Gadd2                        A7sus 
And bore the new Eve from your wounded side. 
        D                               G(add2)/D 
If it weren't for my sins or wounds or weakness, 
            D                      Gadd2      A   Bmadd2 
Then you wouldn't have married me upon the cross. 
                     A 
Why do I fear being seen naked and broken? 
   Gadd2                       Aadd4 
That's why you came; 'cause I need you that much. 


          Bmadd2                      Asus  A 
When you hung upon the cross looking at me, 
Asus        Gadd2                    A7sus 
You didn't die so I would try to be somebody else. 
    D   A       Gadd2 D        Gadd2   A       D D2 Dsus D Gadd2 
You died so I could be the saint that is just me.
