[C] _ [Am] guess that it [Dm] was bound [G] to happen, [C] it's just [Am] a matter of [Dm] time.
[Em]
But now I've come [Am] to my [Dm] decision, [G] and [C] it's one of [G] the [Am] painful kind. _
[Dm] Now it seems [G] that you [Am] wanted a martyr, _ [F] just a [C] regular guy [Dm] wouldn't do. _
[G] _ Baby I [Am] can't hang [D] upon no [Gm] lover's cross [C] for you.
_ _ [G] _ _
_ [C] Still really [E] gotta [Dm] hand it [G] to [Am] you, cause girl you really [D] tried.
[G] _ [C] But for every [Am] time that we [Em] spent laughing, there [C] were two [G] times [Am] that I cried.
And you [F] were [G] trying to [Am] make me a martyr, that's [F] the one thing [Am] I just [Dm] couldn't do.
[G] And baby I [Am] can't hang [Dm] upon no [G] lover's [C] cross for you. _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] Cause tables [G] are meant [Am] for _ [C] turning, [F] people [Am] are bound [Dm] to change.
[G] _ _ [F] _ [G] Bridges are meant [Am]
for burning, when the people and [Am]
memories they join [Gm] aren't the same.
[Dm] _ _ _ [G] _
_ So [C] I hope [Am] that you can [D] find [G] another [C] who can take [Am] what I could [Dm] not.
_ [G] _ _ [C] He'll [Am] have to be a super [G] guy, [C] or maybe [G] a [Am] super god.
_ _ Cause I never [G] was much of [Am] a martyr before, [F] and I ain't about [Am] to start [Dm] nothing new.
[G] And baby I [Am] can't hang upon no [G] lover's [C] cross for you. _ _ _
