[Verse 1]
           
Guess that it 

            
was bound to h

           
appen; was jus

            
t a matter of 

   
time
              
But now I've c

           
ome to my deci

            
sion, And it's

             
 a-one of the 

      
painful kind
          
'Cause now it 

             
seems that you

           
 wanted a mart

    
yr,
             
Just a regular

           
 guy wouldn't 

   
do
          
But baby, I ca

          
n't hang upon 

             
no lover's cro

          
ss for you.


[Verse 2]
             
Yes I really g

          
ot to hand it 

            
to you, 'cause

           
 girl, you rea

        
lly tried
             
But for every 

          
time that we s

       
pent laughin'
             
There were two

         
 times that I 

  
cried.
              
And you were t

            
ryin' to make 

          
me your martyr
              
And that's the

             
 one thing I j

            
ust couldn't d

  
o
            
'Cause baby, I

/         
 can't hang up

           
on no lover's 

             
cross for you.


[Chorus]
             
'Cause tables 

             
are meant for 

  
turnin',
             
And people are

           
 bound to chan

     
ge
             
And bridges ar

            
e meant for bu

 
rnin',
            
When the peopl

        
e and memories

         
 they join are

           
n't the same


[Verse 3]
             
So I'll hope t

            
hat you can fi

          
nd another who

             
 can take what

        
 I could not
             
He'll have to 

        
be a super guy

            
 or maybe a su

/    
per god
             
'Cause I never

             
 was much of a

       
 martyr before
             
And I ain't 'b

           
out to start n

           
othin' new
            
And baby, I ca

/        
n't hang upon 

            
no lover's cro

        
ss for you.
