[Verse 1]
[Am]I only want [C]to s[F]ay[Am]
[Dm]If there i[Am]s a w[Bdim]ay[Dm]
[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 not as s[B]ure
as [E]when we star[Esus4]ted.
[E]Then [Am]I was i[F]nspired,
[Am]but now [Dm]I'm sad a[Bdim]nd tired
[Dm]Listen, [G]surely I'v[C]e exceeded
[E]expectations
[Am]Tried for three years,
[F]seems like thirteen
[Am]Could you ask as [E]much
from any other [Am]man?
But [G]if [F]I d[E]ie, see t[Am]he saga through
[G]And do the thing[F]s you ask of [E]me
Let [Am]them haze me, hit [G]me, hurt me,
[F]nail me to their [E]tree
[A]I'd want to know,
I'd want to know [D]my God
[A]Want to know, I'd want to know [Am]my God
Want to see, I'd want to see my God
Want to see, I'd want to see my God
Why [G]I s[F]hould d[E]ie?
[Am]Would I be more no[G]ticed
than I [F]ever was before?
[E]Oh, wil[Am]l the things I've sai[G]d
and done mat[F]ter anymore?
[E]I'd[A] to know,
I'd have to know, [D]my Lord
[A]Have to know, I'd have to know,
[Am]my Lord
Have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord
Have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord
[B]If I die, what will be my reward?
If I die, what will be my reward?
Have to know, I'd have to know,
[E]my Lord
[Bm]Have to know, I'd [B]have to know,
[E]my Lord
[Bm]Why? [A]Why[G] sh[F#]ould I die?[Bm]
[A]Tell me, [G]why should I [F#]die?
[Bm]Can you show me now
[A]that I would not [G]be killed in [F#]vain?
Show [Bm]me just a l[A]ittle of your
[G]om nipresent [F#]brain
Show [Bm]me there's a [A]reason
for your want[G]ing me to [F#]die
You're [Bm]far too keen on where a[A]nd how
And [G]not so hot on [F#]why[E]
Al[Em]right, I'll [F#]die
[Bm]Just [A]watch [G]me die
[F#]See [Bm]how I[A] die[G][F#][Bm]
See [A]how [G]I d[F#]ie[B][Bm][A][G][F#][Bm][A]
[G][F#][Bm][A][G]
[F#][Bm][A][G][F#][Bm][A][G][F#][Bm][A][G]
[Em][Bm]
Then I was [G]inspired,
[Bm]but [Em]now I'm sad a[C#dim]nd tired[Em]
[A]After all, I've [D]tried for three years
[F#]Seems like 90,
[Bsus4]why then [Bm]am I scared?[G]
To finish [Bm]what I started
[C#]What you started, [F#]I didn't start it
[Bm]God, thy will [G]is hard,
[Bm]but [Em]you hold every c[C#dim]ard[Em]
[A]I will drink your c[D]up of poison,
[F#]nail me to your cros[Bm]s and rape me
[G]Please defeat me,
[Bm]kill me or take me now
[F#]Before I change my mind[G]
[F#]Now, before I change my mind
