                             Fm9
You don't pass your time in limbo
                      D#
Or hang out with the crowd
                C#           G#
Sitting on the stoop like a little girl
              Fm7     Gm7     A#  A#sus4 A#
Who took the wrong road into town
D#                                   Fm9
But you got that short cut way about you
                                 D#
And no one's going to stare you down
               C#          G#
You cook much better on a lower flame
               Fm7            Gm7       A# A#sus4 A#
You burn much better when the sun goes down

Chorus:
                D#
And heaven can wait
        C#/D#         Csus4
But you ought to be a saint
C                       Fm7
I got your very best intentions
 Gm7        A#  A#sus4 A#
Helping me along
                       D#
And if I ever fail to mention
C#/D#                    Csus4
You were an overnight sensation
C                 Fm7
Well take it from me
    Gm7   G# A#
My baby's a saint
    Gm7   G# A#
My baby's a saint

I believe you were a new arrival
On the fast train passing through
And you traded in your luck for survival
To sweeten up the witch's brew
You had a better way of working magic
A little mystery in your eyes
Instead of rolling over you remained the same
You took the whole world by surprise

Chorus

D#                Fm9 A#
My baby is a saint

Chorus

My baby's a saint
