enjoy, great song.

The spacing might be off between the chords, I use Lucida Console font.

 C          Am     Dm      G
I guess that it was bound to happen
   C      Am       Dm         G
Was just a matter of time
C        Em     Am     G
Now I've come to my decision
        F           G       Am
And its a-one of the painful kind
             G                      F
'Cause now it seems that you wanted a martyr
      C       Dm           G
Just a regular guy wouldn't do
        C Em    Am     Dm          G           C
But baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you

   C      Am    Dm      G
You really gotta hand it to ya
      C   Am          Dm      G
'Cause girl you really tried
       C     Em        Am       G
But for ev'ry time that we spent laughin'
          F         G      Am
There were two times that I cried
            G                      F
And you were tryin' to make me your martyr
              C           Dm            G
And that's the one thing I just couldn't do
           C Em    Am     Dm          G           C
'Cause baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you

C7

      F          G         Am    Em
'Cause tables are meant for turnin'
   F          C        Dm  G
And people are bound to change
   F           G         Am    Em
And bridges are meant for burnin'
        F                        Dm                     G
When the people and mem'ries they join aren't the same

C       Am                Dm     G        
Still I hope that you can find another
C       Am        Dm      G
Who can take what I could not
C             Em   Am     G
He'll have to be a super guy
  F       G       Am
Or maybe a super god
        G                   F
'Cause I never was much of a martyr before
     C              Dm            G
And I ain't 'bout to start nothin' new
        C Em    Am     Dm         G            C
And baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you

C7

      F          G         Am    Em
'Cause tables are meant for turnin'
   F          C        Dm  G
And people are bound to change
   F           G         Am    Em
And bridges are meant for burnin'
        F                        Dm                     G
When the people and mem'ries they join aren't the same

C     Am                Dm     G        
But I hope that you can find another
C       Am        Dm      G
Who can take what I could not
C             Em   Am     G
He'll have to be a super guy
  F       G       Am
Or maybe a super god
        G                   F
'Cause I never was much of a martyr before
     C              Dm            G
And I ain't 'bout to start nothin' new
        C Em    Am     Dm         G            C
