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      D 
I really gotta hand it to ya, boy you really tried 
A             D            A 
But for every time that we spent laughing 
A              E            D 
There were two times that I cried, 
D                 E                A 
Cause I never was much of a martyr before, 
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. 
D          E         D  A 
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 
And I ain't gonna start nothin' new 
A          E     D           E            D   A 
Oh baby, I can't hang upon a lovers cross for you

Oh baby, I can't hang upon a lovers cross for.... 
A                   E             A 
I can't hang upon a lovers cross, no baby 
E       A    D                       A 
I won't hang upon a lovers cross for you.
