[A]They all said it was [D]bound to [A]happen, was just a [D]matter of [E]time
[A]Now I've come [D]to my [A]decision, and it's [E]one of the painful [D]kind
[A]Well it [D]seems that you wanted a [A]martyr,
[A]Just a regular [D]girl wouldn't[E] do
[A]No baby, I [E]can't [D]hang u[A]pon a lover[E]s cross for[A] you.
[A]I really gotta [D]hand it to [E]ya, [A]boy you [E]really [D]tried
[A]But for every [D]time that we [A]spent laughing
[A]There were two [E]times that I [D]cried,
[D]Cause I never was [E]much of a martyr [A]before,
[A]And I ain't gonna [D]start nothin' [E]new
[A]Oh baby, I [E]can't [D]hang u[A]pon a lover[E]s cross for[A] you.
[D]Tables are [E]meant for [D]tur[A]nin'
[D]And people are [A]bound to [E]change
[D]Bridges are [E]meant for [D]bur[A]nin'
[E]When people in [A]memories aren't one in the [E]same.
[A]Still I hope that you [D]can find [E]another who could [A]take what I coul[E]d not
[A]She would have to [D]be a [E]super girl or [A]maybe a Joan of [D]Arc
[D]Now I never was [E]much of a martyr [A]before
[A]And I ain't gonna [D]start nothin' [E]new
[A]Oh baby, I [E]can't [D]hang upon a [E]lovers cross [D]for [A]you
[D]Tables are [E]meant for [D]tur[A]nin'
[D]And people [A]are bound to [E]change
[D]Bridges are [E]meant for [D]bur[A]nin'
[E]When people in [A]memories aren't one in the [E]same.
[A]Still I hope that you [D]can find [E]another who can [A]take what I coul[E]d not
[A]She would have to [D]be a [E]super girl or [A]maybe a Joan of [D]Arc
[D]Now I never was [E]much of a martyr [A]before
[A]And I ain't gonna [D]start nothin' [E]new
[A]Oh baby, [E]I can't [D]hang upon a [E]lovers cross [A]for....
[A]I can't hang upon a [E]lovers cross, [A]no baby
[E]I won't [A]hang [D]upon a lovers cross for [A]you.
End.
