Intro: D D2 Dsus D Gadd2 x2

  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   D2 Dsus D Gsus2

  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.
