5     6   6   6   -5   6   -4 -5   4    5  6   
Guess that it was bound to happen, was just a 
 -6 6   5  -4     3   4   -4    5  6  -6
matter of time.  But now I’ve come to my 
6 -5  6    -4  -5   5   6  5   6   5   -6
decision, and it’s one of the painful kind.  
 6     -6 -7  7     7    7  -7  -6 6 -6  5
Cause now it seems that you wanted a martyr, 
 -4  5 -5 6 -6  6   5  4    -4    4   -4 4 5
just a regular guy wouldn’t do.  But, baby I 
 6     -6   6   -5 -4  4    5   (-44)  4
can’t hang upon no lovers cross for   you

Verse 2
(4-4) 4 5    -6 6   -5  6  -4 -5    4    5    You  really got to hand
it to ya, cause girl, 
 6   5 -4   -4      4  -4  5  6  -6     6  -5
you really tried.  But for every time that we 
 6     -4 -4    -5    5    5    6    6   5
spent laughin’ there were two times that I 
 -6      6   -6  -7   7  7   7   -7 -6  6
cried.  And you were trying to make me your 
-6 5     4   -4     -4 -5    6  -6  6
martyr, and that’s the one thing I just 
 5   4   -4    4    -4 4  5  6     -6  6 -5 5
couldn’t do.  Cause baby, I can’t hang upon no 
 -4 4   5    (-44) 4
lovers cross for  you.

(Bridge)
  4    6 -7   7   -7    6  -6 (-7-66) -5 -5 6
Cause tables are meant for turnin’,  and people 
 -6   6  (54)  -4      4   -6 -7   7    -7   6
are bound to change.  And bridges are meant for 
-6 (-7-66)  6    -5 -5  6   -6  6  -5    5
burnin’    when the people and mem’ries they 
 -5   5  5   -4  6 
join aren’t the same.

Verse 3 (played the same as verse 2)

Still I hope that you can find another who can take what I could not.
He’ll have to be a super guy, or maybe a super god.  Cause I never was
much of a martyr before, and I ain’t bout to start nothin’ new. And
baby, I can’t hang upon no lover’s cross for you. (bridge)

Verse 4 (played the same as verse 2)

But I hope that you can find another who can take what I could not.

baby, I can’t hang upon no lover’s cross for you.
