Gethsemane (I Only Want To Say) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]I only want to say
[Dm]If there is a way
[G]Take this cup away[C] from me
For [E]I don't want to t[Am]aste its poison
[F]Feel it burn me,[Am] I have changed
I'm [B]not as sure, as [E]when we started

[Verse 2]
[Am]Then I was inspired
[Dm]Now I'm sad and tired
[G]Listen, surely
[C]I've exceeded [E]expectations
[Am]Tried for three [F]years, seems like thirty
[Am]Could you ask as [E]much
from any other [Am]man?

[Chorus 1]
[Am]But [G]if I[F] d[E]ie
[Am]See the saga t[G]hrough
and do the [F]things you ask of [E]me
[Am]Let them hate me, [G]hit me, hurt me,
[F]nail me to their [E]tree
[Am]I'd want to know, I'd want to know, my G[D]od
[Am]I'd want to know, I'd want to know, my G[D]od
[A]Want to see, I'd want to see, my God[D]
[A]Want to see, I'd want to see, my God[D]

[Chorus 2]
[Am]Why [G]I sh[F]ould d[E]ie
[Am]Would I be more [G]noticed
than I [F]ever was be[E]fore?
[Am]Would the things I've [G]said and done
[F]matter any [E]more?
[Am]I'd have to know, I'd have to know, my L[D]ord
[Am]Have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord[D]
[A]Have to see, I'd have to see, my Lor[D]d
[A]Have to see, I'd have to see, my Lor[D]d
[B]If I die what will be my rewar[E]d?
[B]If I die what will be my rewar[E]d?
[B]Have to know, I'd have to know, my Lor[E]d
[B]I'd have to know, I'd have to know, my [E]Lord

[Bridge 1]
[Bm]Why [A]shou[G]ld I[F#] die?[Bm]
[A]Oh, [G]why should I [F#]die?
[Bm]Can you show me [A]now
that I would [G]not be killed in [F#]vain?
[Bm]Show me just a [A]little
of your [G]omnipresent [F#]brain
[Bm]Show me there's a [A]reason
for your [G]wanting me to [F#]die
You're [Bm]far too keen on w[A]here and how,
but [G]not so hot on [F#]why
[Bm]All [A]righ[G]t, I'll [F#]die!
[Bm]Oh, [A]just[G], just watch me die![F#]
[Bm]See [A]how,[G] see how I die![F#]
[Bm]Oh y[A]eah,[G] see how I die![F#]

[Verse 3]
[Bm]Then I was inspired
[Em]Now I'm sad and tired
[A]After all, I've tri[D]ed for three years,
[F#]seems like ninety
[Bm]Why then am I sc[G]ared to finish
[Bm]what I start[C#]ed, what you started,
[F#]I didn't start it

[Verse 4]
[Bm]God thy will is hard
But [Em]you hold every card
[A]I will drink your cup[D] of poison
[F#]Nail me to your cros[Bm]s and break me
[G]Bleed me, beat me
[Bm]Kill me, take me now![C#]
Be[F#]fore I change my [G]mind
