  5    6   6   6   -5   6   -4 -5
Guess that it was bound to happen,
 4   5   6   -6 6  5   -4
Was just a  matter of time.
 3   4   -4    5  6  -6  6 -5 6
But now I’ve come to my decision
-4  -5    5  6   5   6   5   -6
And it’s one of the painful kind.
 6     -6 -7  7     7    7  -7  -6 6 -6  5
Cause now it seems that you wanted a martyr
 -4  5 -5 6 -6  6   5  4    -4    4   -4 4 5
Just a regular guy wouldn’t do.  But, baby I
 6     -6  6 -5 5   -4  4   5  (-44)   4
Can’t hang upon no lovers cross for   you

Verse 2 
(4-4) 4 5    -6 6   -5  6  -4 -5
You  really got to hand it to ya,
  4    5     6   5 -4    -4
Cause girl, you really tried.
 4  -4   5 6   -6   6   -5   6    -4  5
But for every time that we spent laughin’
 -5    5    5    6    6   5   -6
There were two times that I cried.
 6  -6   -7   7  7  7   -7  -6  6    -6 5
And you were trying to make me your martyr
 4   -4    -4  -5    6  -6  6    5   4   -4
And that’s the one thing I just couldn’t do.
  4   -4 4  5   6    -6  6 -5 5
Cause baby, I can’t hang upon no
-4 4     5  (-44) 4
Lovers cross for you.

(Bridge) 
  4    6 -7   7   -7    6  -6 (-7-66) -5 -5
Cause tables are meant for turnin’,
-5  -5  6  -6    6  (54)  -4
And people are bound to change.
 4   -6 -7   7    -7   6  -6 (-7-66)
And bridges are meant for burnin’
 6    -5 -5  6   -6  6  -5    5
When the people and mem’ries they
 -5   5  5   -4  6
Join aren’t the same.

Verse 3 (played the same as verse 2) 

Still I hope that you can find another who
can take what I could not.
He’ll have to be a super guy, or maybe a 
super god.  Cause I never was
much of a martyr before, and I ain’t bout to start nothin’ new. And
baby, I can’t hang upon no lover’s cross for you. (bridge)
