A                    D        A                  D         E
They all said it was bound to happen, was just a matter of time
A             D     A                  E                  D
Now I've come to my decision, and it's one of the painful kind
A       D                       A
Well it seems that you wanted a martyr,
A              D            E
Just a regular girl wouldn't do
A          E     D     A          E          A
No baby, I can't hang upon a lovers cross for you.


A              D          E   A             E      
I really gotta hand it to ya, boy you really tried
A             D            A

A                 D             E
And I ain't gonna start nothin' new
A          E     D     A          E          A
Oh baby, I can't hang upon a lovers cross for you.

Tables are meant for turnin'
D              A        E
And people are bound to change
D           E         D  A
Bridges are meant for burnin'
E              A                          E
When people in memories aren't one in the same.


A                     D        E                 A               E
Still I hope that you can find another who could take what I could not
A                 D    E             A               D
She would have to be a super girl or maybe a Joan of Arc
D               E                A
Now I never was much of a martyr before
A                 D             E

E       A    D                       A
I won't hang upon a lovers cross for you.
