I Only Want to Say

I only want to say,

(Ebm)if there is a way,

(Ab)take this (Absus)cup (Ab)(Dbsus)away (Db)from me,

for (F)I don't want to (Bbsus)taste (Bbm)its poison.

(Gb)Feel it burn me.

(Bbm)I have changed, I'm (C7)not as sure

as (F)when we started.

(Bbm)Then I was inspired.

(Ebm)Now I'm sad and tired.

(Ab)Listen, (Absus)(Ab)surely (Dbsus)I've (Db)exceeded (F)expectations.

(Bbsus)Tried (Bbm)for three years, (Gbsus)seems like (Gb)thirty.

(Bbm)Could you ask as (F)much from any other (Bbm)man?

But (Ab)if (Gb)I (F)die, (Bbm)see the saga (Ab)through and do the (Gb)things you ask of (F)me,

(Bbm)let them hate me, (Ab)hit me,

hurt me, (Gb)nail me to their (F)tree.

(Bb7)I'd wanna know, I'd wanna know my (Eb7)God.

(Bb7)I'd wanna know, I'd wanna know my (Eb7)God.

(Bb7)I'd wanna see, I'd wanna see my (Eb7)God.

(Bb7)I'd have to see, I'd have to see my (Eb7)God.

(Bbm)Why (Ab)should (Gb)I (F)die?

(Bbm)Would I be more (Ab)noticed than I (Gb)ever was (F)before?

(Bbm)Would the things I've (Ab)said and done (Gb)matter (F)anymore?

(Bb7)I'd have to know, I'd have to know my (Eb7)Lord.

(Bb7)I'd have to know, I'd have to know my (Eb7)Lord.

(Bb7)I'd have to see, I'd have to see my (Eb7)Lord.

(Bb7)I'd have to see, I'd have to see my (Eb7)Lord.

(C7)If I die what will be my (F7)reward?

(C7)If I die what will be my (F7)reward?

(Cm)Why (Bb)should (Ab)I (G)die?

(Cm)Can you show me (Bb)now that I would (Ab)not be killed in (G)vain?

(Cm)Show me just a (Bb)little of your (Ab)omnipresent (G)brain.

(Cm)Show me there's a (Bb)reason for your (Ab)wanting me to (G)die.

You're (Cm)far too keen on (Bb)where and how and (Ab)not so hot on (G)why.

(Cm)(Bb)Alright (Ab)I'll (G)die!

(Cm)Just (Bb)watch (Ab)me (G)die!
