Guess that (Am)it was bound to hap pen,

was just a (Am)mat ter of time;

but now I’ve (C)come to (Am)my de ci sion, and it’s a (C)one of the (C)pain ful (Am)kind.

’Cause now it (F)seems that you (G)want ed a mar tyr,

just a (F)reg u lar (C)guy would n’t do.

But, ba by, (C)I can’t (C)hang

up (Dm)on no lov er’s cross for (C)you.

Yes, I (C)real ly (Am)got to hand it to you, ’cause girl, you real ly (Dm)tried.

But for (C)ev ’ry (Am)time that we spent laugh in’, there were (C)two times (C)that I cried.

And you were (F)try in’ to (G)make me your mar tyr,

and that’s the (F)one thing I (C)just could n’t do.

’Cause, ba by, (C)I can’t (C)hang up on no lov er’s cross for (C)you.

’Cause (F)ta bles are (G)meant for (Am)turn in’ and (F)peo ple are (C)bound to change,

and (F)bridg es are (G)meant for (Am)burn in’ when the (F)peo ple and (C)mem ’ries they (Dm7)join aren’t the same.

So I’ll (C)hope that (Am)you can find an oth er who can (C)take what (Am)I could not.

He’ll have to (Am)be a su per guy or (C)may be a (C)su per (Am)god.

’Cause I (F)nev er was (G)much of a (Am)mar tyr be fore and I (F)ain’t ’bout to (C)start noth in’ new.

And, ba by, (C)I can’t (C)hang up (Dm)on no lov er’s cross for (C)you.
