Start Jamming...
[Bbm]
I only want to say, [Gb]
if there is a way, [Ebm] [Eb] [Ab]
take this cup [Db] away from me.
[F] For I don't want to [Bbm] taste its [Gb] poison, feel it burn [Bbm] me.
I have changed, [Bb] [C] I'm not as sure [F] as when we [A] started.
[Bb] [Bbm] Then I was inspired,
[Ebm] now I'm
[Eb] [Bbm] satisfied.
[Ab]
Listen, surely [Db]
I've exceeded [F]
expectations.
[Bbm]
Tried for three [Gb] years, seems like thirty.
[Bbm] Could you ask [F] as much from any [Bbm] other man?
[Bb] [Bbm]
[Ab] [Db] [Gb] But if I [F] die, [Bbm] see the saga [Ab] through, and [Gb] do the things you [F] ask of me.
[Bbm] Let them hate [Ab] me, hit me, hurt [Gb] me, nail me [F] to their tree.
[Bb] I'd wanna know, I'd wanna know [Eb] my [Bbm] God.
I'd [Bb] wanna know, I'd wanna know [Eb] my [Bb] God.
Wanna see, I'd wanna see [Eb] my [Bb] God.
[Eb] [Bb] Why [Bbm]
[Ab] I [Gb] should
[F] die?
[Bbm] Would I be [Ab] more noticed [Gb] than I ever [F] was before?
[Bb] Would the [Ab] things I've said and done [Gb]
matter [F] anymore?
[Bb] I'd have to know, I'd have to know [Eb] my [Bb] Lord.
Have to [Eb] [Bb]
see, I'd have to see [Eb] my [Bb] Lord.
[Eb] [C]
If I die, what will be my [F] [C]
[F] reward?
[Cm] Have to know, [F] [C]
have to know [F] my [C] Lord.
Why [Bb] [Ab]
[G] should [C] I die?
[Bb] [Ab]
[G] Can [Cm] you show [Bb] me now that I [Ab] would not be killed [G] in vain?
[C] Show me just [Bb] a little [Ab] of your [G] omnipresent brain.
[C] Show me [Bb] there's a reason [Ab] for your wanting [G] me to die.
[C] You're far too keen [Bb] on wear, and [Ab] power not so [Cm] hot on wire.
[Bb] Alright, [Ab]
[G] [C]
[Bb] just [Ab]
[G] watch me die.
[C]
See [Bb] [Ab] how, see how [G] I die.
[C]
[Bb] [Ab] See [G] how I die.
[Cm]
[Bb] [Ab] [G]
[Cm] [Bb] [Ab]
[G] [Cm]
[Bb] [Ab] [G] [Cm]
[Bb] [Ab]
[G] [Cm] [Bb]
[Ab] [G] [Cm]
[Bb] [Ab]
[Cm]
I was [Ab]
[Cm] inspired, [Fm]
[Eb] now I'm [Dm] sad [D] and [F] tired.
[Bb]
After [Ab] all [Eb] I've tried for three [G] years, seems like [Cm] ninety.
Why then [Eb] am [Ab] I scared to finish?
[Cm] What I started, [D] what you started, [G] I didn't start it.
[Cm]
God, [Bb] thy will [Ab] is far, [Gm] [Cm]
[Ab] but you hold every [Fm] [Eb]
card.
[Bb] I [D] will drink [Bb] [Eb] your cup of poison.
[Ab]
[G] Nail me to your [Cm] cross and break me.
[Ab] Bleed me, beat me, [Cm] kill me, take me [G]
now.
Before I change [Ab] my mind.

[F] [Ab]
