[Intro]
Eb Fm9 Bb Eb
[Verse 1]
Fm9
You don't pass your time in limbo
Eb
Or hang out with the crowd
Db Ab
Sitting on the stoop like a little girl
Fm7 Gm7 Bb Bbsus4 Bb
Who took the wrong road into town
Eb Fm9
But you got that short cut way about you
Eb
And no one's going to stare you down
Db Ab
You cook much better on a lower flame
Fm7 Gm7 Bb Bbsus4 Bb
You burn much better when the sun goes down
[Chorus]
Eb
And heaven can wait
Db/Eb Csus4
But you ought to be a saint
C Fm7
I got your very best intentions
Gm7 Bb Bbsus4 Bb
Helping me along
Eb
And if I ever fail to mention
Db/Eb Csus4
You were an overnight sensation
C Fm7
Well take it from me
Gm7 Ab Bb
My baby's a saint
Gm7 Ab Bb
My baby's a saint
[Verse 2]
Eb Fm9
I believe you were a new arrival
Eb
On the fast train passing through
Db Ab
And you traded in your luck for survival
Fm7 Gm7 Bb Bbsus4 Bb
To sweeten up the witch's brew
Eb Fm9
You had a better way of working magic
Eb
A little mystery in your eyes
Db Ab
Instead of rolling over you remained the same
Fm7 Gm7 Bb Bbsus4 Bb
You took the whole world by surprise
[Chorus]
Eb
And heaven can wait
Db/Eb Csus4
But you ought to be a saint
C Fm7
I got your very best intentions
Gm7 Bb Bbsus4 Bb
Helping me along
Eb
And if I ever fail to mention
Db/Eb Csus4
You were an overnight sensation
C Fm7
Well take it from me
Gm7 Ab Bb
My baby's a saint
Gm7 Ab Bb
My baby's a saint
[Instrumental]
Eb Fm9 Bb
[Bridge]
Eb Fm9 Bb
My baby is a saint
[Chorus]
Eb
And heaven can wait
Db/Eb Csus4
But you ought to be a saint
C Fm7
I got your very best intentions
Gm7 Bb Bbsus4 Bb
Helping me along
Eb
And if I ever fail to mention
Db/Eb Csus4
You were an overnight sensation
C Fm7
Well take it from me
Gm7 Ab Bb
My baby's a saint
Gm7 Ab Bb
My baby's a saint
Gm7 Ab Bb
My baby's a saint
[Outro]
Gm7 Ab Bb
