Lover's Cross

Guess that (Am)it was bound to happen,

(C)was just a (Am)matter of time;

(G7)but now I've (C)come to (Am)my decision,

(G7)and it's (C)aone of the painful (Am)kind.

'Cause now it (F)seems that you (G)wanted a martyr,

(Am)just a (F)regular (C)guy wouldn't do.

(G7)But, baby, (C)I can't hang up (Dm)on no lover's (G7)cross for (C)you.

(G7)Yes, I (C)really (Am)got to hand it to you,

(C)'cause girl, (Am)you really (Dm)tried.

(G7)But for (C)ev'ry (Am)time that we spent laughin',

there were (C)two times that I cried.

(Am)And you were (F)tryin' to (G)make me your martyr,

(Am)and that's the (F)one thing I (C)just couldn't do.

(G7)'Cause, baby, (C)I can't hang upon no lover's (G7)cross for (C)you.

(C7)'Cause (F)tables are (G)meant for (Am)turnin'

(Em)and (F)people are (C)bound to change,

(G7)and (F)bridges are (G)meant for (Am)burnin' (Em)when the (F)people and (C)mem'ries they (Dm7)join aren't the same.

So I'll (C)hope that (Am)you can find another who can (C)take what (Am)I could not.

(C)He'll have to (Am)be a super guy or (C)maybe a super (Am)god.

'Cause I (F)never was (G)much of a (Am)martyr before and I (F)ain't 'bout to (C)start nothin' new.

(G7)And, baby, (C)I can't hang (Dm)upon no (G7)lover's cross for (C)you.
