Start Jamming...
I [Fm] only [Gb] want to say, [F] [Ebm]
if there [Bb] is a way, [Ab]
take this cup [Db] away from me.
[F] For I don't want to taste its [Gb] poison, feel it burn me.
[F] I have changed, [C] I'm not as sure [F] as when we [Cm] started.
[Bb] [Bbm] Then I [Gb] was [F] inspired, [Bbm]
[Ebm] now I'm
[Bbm] satisfied.
[Ab]
Listen, surely [Db]
I've exceeded [F]
expectations.
[Bbm]
Tried for three [Gb] years, seems like 30.
[F] Could you ask as much from any [Bbm] other man?
[Bb] But [Bbm]
[Db] [Gb] if I [F] die, [Bbm] see the saga [Ab] through, and do [Gb] the things you [F] ask of me.
[Bbm] Let them hate me, [Ab] hit me, [Gb] hurt me, nail me [F] to their tree.
[Bb] I'd wanna know, I'd wanna know [Eb] my [Bb] God.
I'd wanna know, I'd wanna know [Eb] my God.
[Bb] Wanna see, I'd wanna see my God.
Wanna see, I'd wanna see my God.
[Bbm] Why [Ab] I [Gb] should
[F] die?
[Bbm] Would I be [Ab] more noticed [Gb] than I ever was [F] before?
[Bb] Would the things [Ab] I've said and [Gb] done matter [F] anymore?
[Bb] I'd have to know, I'd have to know [Eb] my [Bb] Lord.
Have to see, I'd have to see my [Bb] Lord.
[Eb] [C]
If I die, what will be my [F] [C]
[F] reward?
[Cm]
Have to know, have to [F] know my [C] Lord.
[Bb] [Ab]
[G] [C]
[Bb] [Ab] Why should [G] I die?
[Cm] Can 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 is there's a reason [Ab] for your wanting [G] me to die.
[C] You're far too [Bb] keen on ware, and [Ab] how I'm not so hot on [G] wire.
[C]
[Bb] [Ab] Why should I [G] [C]
[Bb] die?
[Ab] Just [G] watch me die.
[Cm]
See [Bb] [Ab] how, see how [D] I die.
[C]
[Bb] Yeah, [Ab] see how [G] I die.

Then I [Ab] was inspired.
[Cm] [Fm]
[Eb] Now [Dm] I'm sad and [C] tired.
[Bb] After
[Ab] all [Eb] I've tried for three [G] years.
Seems like 90.
[Cm]
Why then [C] am [Ab] I scared to finish?
[G] What I started, [D] what you started, [G] I didn't start [Cm] it.
God, [Bb] thy will [Ab] is far.
[D] [Cm] [Fm]
But you [Ab] hold every [Dm] [Cm] card.
[Bb] I [D]
will [Bbm] drink [Eb] your cup of poison.
[G] Nail me to your [Cm] cross and break [Ab] me.
Bleed me, beat me, kill me, take [D] me now.
[G] Before I change [Ab] my mind.

[Fm] [Ab]
