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

[Chorus]
   Dm  C F
Oh St. Marie
         Gm              Bb
Close my eyes before you leave
   F                              Gm
So I don't have to look at you in shame
C
   Dm  C F
Oh St. Marie
        Gm               Bb
Take my hand and give me peace
       Bb                 C               F
'Cause I don't think I'll ever be the same

[Verse 2]
F
Bb
Here come the broken hearts
F
Just as the music starts
Gm                   C
One by one they testify
Bb
I never did enough
F
I never cared enough
Dm                     Bb          C
Even though I stood, I always ran away
C      Dm
We all wonder why
     F                            Bb
It's easier to blame the ones you love
                      F    C
'Cause it's harder to believe
        Dm
That we fall sometimes
   F                            Bb
No matter how I try, I've given up
                 C
But now I have a chance to be

[Chorus]
    Dm  C F
Oh St. Marie
         Gm              Bb
Close my eyes before you leave
   F                              Gm
So I don't have to look at you in shame
C
   Dm  C F
Oh St. Marie
        Gm               Dm
Take my hand and give me peace
       Bb                 C               F
'Cause I don't think I'll ever be the same

[Bridge]
C
Sometimes the quiet ones
    Bb
Are all I want to be
C
There's only so much left
    Bb
The rest is up to me
C
You're all I'll ever want
Bb
I hope you feel it 'cause
C
As far as I'm concerned
       Bb              C  F
You're exactly what I need

[Final Chorus]
Gm Dm  C F
Oh St. Marie
         Gm              Bb
Close my eyes before you leave
   F                              Gm
So I don't have to look at you in shame
C
   Dm  C F
Oh St. Marie
        Gm               Bb
Take my hand and give me peace
       Bb              C              F
'Cause I don't think I'll ever be the same
       Bb              C              F
'Cause I don't think I'll ever be the same
       Bb              C              F
'Cause I don't think I'll ever be the same
