St Marie

G       D
Oh July
G                       Em
It's better off since April died
C             G                 Am      D
I can see September through the trees
    G        D
And I can't lie
G                       Em
There's more to know than what's inside
C             G                 Am      D
Maybe there's some reason in my memories
        Em
But all I know
G                               C
It's easier to love you when I'm gone
                        G       D
But it's hard for me to leave
Em
I don't know
G                       C
This anger isn't helping anyone
C                       D
And I don't know what I need

[Chorus]

   Em  D  G
Oh St. Marie
Am                        C
Close my eyes before you leave
G                                       Am        D
So I don't have to look at you in shame
    Em D  G
Oh St. Marie
Am                      Em
Take my hand and give me peace
C                          D            G
'Cause I don't think I'll ever be the same

[Verse 2]

C
Here come the broken hearts
G
Just as the music starts
Am                D             G
One by one they testify
C
I never did enough
G
I never cared enough
Em                   C            D
Even though I stood, I always ran away
Em
We all wonder why
G                               C
It's easier to blame the ones you love
G                       D
'Cause it's harder to believe
Em
That we fall sometimes
G                               C
No matter how I try, I've given up
                  D
But now I have a chance to be

[Chorus]

   Em  D  G
Oh St. Marie
Am                        C
Close my eyes before you leave
G                                       Am        D
So I don't have to look at you in shame
    Em D  G
Oh St. Marie
Am                      Em
Take my hand and give me peace
C                          D            G
'Cause I don't think I'll ever be the same

[Bridge]

D
Sometimes the quiet ones
C
Are all I want to be

D
There's only so much left
C
The rest is up to me
D
You're all I'll ever want
C
I hope you feel it 'cause
Am
As far as I'm concerned
C                     D
You're exactly what I need

[Solo]

G       C       G       D
Em      G       C

[Chorus]

   Em  D  G
Oh St. Marie
Am                        C
Close my eyes before you leave
G                                       Am        D
So I don't have to look at you in shame
    Em D  G
Oh St. Marie
Am                      Em
Take my hand and give me peace
C                          D            G
'Cause I don't think I'll ever be the same
C                          D            G
'Cause I don't think I'll ever be the same
C                          D            G
'Cause I don't think I'll ever be the same
