numbers in parenthesis are slurred together.
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)
