Intro: D MajorD D2 DsusDsus D MajorD Gadd2 x2

 D MajorD              Gadd2
I thought I'd be heroic and inspiring.
       Dadd2           Gadd2
I wanted to offer you the greatest sacrifice.
B minorBm                 A augmentedA
 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 MajorD               Gadd2
I thought I'd be a martyr like Cecilia.
       D MajorD           Gadd2
I hoped I'd disappear like Saint Therese,
      B minorBm                 A augmentedA
Or wear a hidden crown of thorns like Rose of Lima,
  Gadd2       AsusAsus
To heal the sick and raise the dead.

     B minorBm             AsusAsus A augmentedA
When you hung upon the cross looking at me,
      Gadd2          A7sus
You didn't die so I would try to be somebody else.
  D MajorD A/C#A/C# Gadd2  D MajorD    Gadd2   A7A7   D MajorD  D2 DsusDsus D MajorD Gsus2Gsus2
You died so I could be the saint that is just me.

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


     B minorBm             AsusAsus A augmentedA
When you hung upon the cross looking at me,
      Gadd2          A7sus
You didn't die so I would try to be somebody else.
  D MajorD A/C#A/C# Gadd2  D MajorD    Gadd2   A7A7   B minorBm
You died so I could be the saint that is just me.
 Dmaj7/A    G+G      Aadd4
Just me, you died just for me.
  Bmadd7   Dmaj7/A Gadd2     AsusAsus
Just me, just me,  you died just for me.

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


     Bmadd2           AsusAsus A augmentedA

AsusAsus    Gadd2          A7sus
