Danielle Rose - The Saint That Is Just Me Chords & Tabs

Beautiful song and beautiful woman... may we all become saints for the love of 
Christ! For simplicity's sake, if you prefer, you can forget the fancy chords and 
just do D's and G's. It will pretty much sound the same. Pax et bonum


Intro: D D2 Dsus D [ch]Gadd2[/ch] x2

  D                            [ch]Gadd2[/ch]
I thought I'd be heroic and inspiring.
             [ch]Dadd2[/ch]                      [ch]Gadd2[/ch] 
I wanted to offer you the greatest sacrifice.
Bm                                  A
  Like all the saints who'd gone before me,
           [ch]Gadd2[/ch]                      A7sus
I tried to prove my love for you, and so to gain the prize.
   D                             [ch]Gadd2[/ch]

I hoped I'd disappear like Saint Therese,
           Bm                                  A
Or wear a hidden crown of thorns like Rose of Lima,

To heal the sick and raise the dead.


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

Lord, won't you make me just like her?
            D                             [ch]Gadd2[/ch]
I tried to kneel for hours in the chapel corner,
          D                              [ch]Gadd2[/ch]
To persevere like Paul with all my sleepless nights,

To stay awake and trim my lamp with ten wise virgins,

To really give the devil a good fight.



          Bm                          Asus A

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,
     [ch]Gadd2[/ch]                        A7sus
And bore the new Eve from your wounded side.
        D                               [ch]G(add2)/D[/ch]
If it weren't for my sins or wounds or weakness,
            D                      [ch]Gadd2[/ch]      A   Bmadd2
Then you wouldn't have married me upon the cross.
                     A
Why do I fear being seen naked and broken?
   [ch]Gadd2[/ch]                       Aadd4
That's why you came; 'cause I need you that much.
