Lover's Cross


(C)Guess that (Amin)it was (Dmin)bound to (G7)happen,
Was (C)just a (Amin)matter of (Dmin)time. (G7)
But (C)now I've (Amin)come to (Dmin)my de (G7)cision,
And it's a- (C)one of the (C/B)painful (Amin)kind.
'Cause it (F)seems that you (G)wanted a (Amin)martyr,
Just a (F)regular (C)guy wouldn't (Dmin)do. (G7)
But (C)baby, I can't (Amin)hang up(Dmin)on no lover's (G7)cross for (C)you. (G7)

Yes I really gotta hand it to ya,
'Cause girl, you really tried.
But for every time that we spent laughin,
There were two times that I cried.
And you were tryin' to make me your martyr,
And that's the one thing I just couldn't do.
'Cause baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you.

(Play next two verses twice)

'Cause (F)tables are (G)meant for(Amin) tur(Emin)nin',
And (F)people are (C)bound to (Dmin)change.(G7)
And (F)bridges are (G)meant for (Amin)bur(Emin)nin',
When the (F)people and (C)memries they (Dmin)join aren't the (G7)same.

So I'll 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.
