[Verse 1]
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
