[Intro 1]
[F][E][Am][D]
[G][F][Em][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]I guess that it [Am]was boun[Dm]d to happe[G]n
[C]Was just a mat[Am]ter of tim[Dm]e[G]
But now I've [C]come to [Am]my de[Dm]ci- si[G]on
And it's a [C]one of the  painful [Am]kind
[G]

[Chorus 1]
'Cause now it [F]seems that you
[G]wanted a [Am]martyr[G]
Just a [F]regular [C]guy wouldn't [Dm]do[G]
But baby [C]I c[Em]an't h[Am]ang
[Dm]upon no [G]lover's cross for [C]you[G]

[Verse 2]
You [C]really [Am]gotta [Dm]hand it [G]to you
[C]'Cause gir[Am]l you really tri[Dm]ed[G]
But for [C]ev'ry [Am]time that [Dm]we spent l[G]aughin'
There were [C]two times  that I [Am]cried[G]

[Chorus 2]
And you were [F]tryin' to [G]make
me your [Am]martyr[G]
And that's the [F]one thing
I [C]just couldn't [Dm]do[G]
'Cause baby, [C]I c[Em]an't h[Am]ang
[Dm]upon no [G]lover's cross for [C]you[C]

[Bridge 1]
'Cause [F]tables are [G]meant for [Am]tur [Em]nin'
And [F]people are [C]bound to [Dm]change[G]
And [F]bridges are [G]meant for [Am]bur [Em]nin'
When the [F]people and [C]mem'ries
they [Dm]join aren't the [G]same

[Verse 3]
Still I [C]hope that [Am]you can [Dm]find a[G]nother
Who can [C]take what [Am]I could no[Dm]t[G]
[C]He'll have to be [Am]a super[Dm] guy[G]
Or [C]maybe a super  [Am]god[G]

[Chorus 3]
'Cause I [F]never was [G]much
of a [Am]martyr [G]before
And I [F]ain't 'bout to [C]start nothin' [Dm]new[G]
And baby, [C]I c[Em]an't h[Am]ang
[Dm]upon no [G]lover's cross for [C]you[C]

[Bridge 2]
'Cause [F]tables are [G]meant for [Am]tur [Em]nin'
And [F]people are [C]bound to [Dm]change[G]
And [F]bridges are [G]meant for [Am]bur [Em]nin'
When the [F]people and [C]mem'ries
they [Dm]join aren't the [G]same

[Verse 4]
But I [C]hope that [Am]you can [Dm]find a[G]nother
Who can [C]take what [Am]I could no[Dm]t[G]
[C]He'll have to be [Am]a super[Dm] guy[G]
Or [C]maybe a super  [Am]god[G]

[Outro 1]
'Cause I [F]never was [G]much
of a [Am]martyr [G]before
And I [F]ain't 'bout to [C]start nothin' [Dm]new[G]
And baby, [C]I c[Em]an't h[Am]ang
[Dm]upon no [G]lover's cross for [C]you[E]
[Am][D][G][F][G][C]
