I only
want to say, if there is a way,

take
this cup away from me for

don’t want to taste its poison,
F - Am
feel
it burn me, I have changed,

I’m
not as sure as when we started.
Am Dm
Then I was inspired, now I’m sad and tired,
G C E Am
listen, surely I’ve exceeded expectations, tried for three years,
F Am E Am
seems
like thirty, could you ask as much from any other man.
But if
I die, see the saga through and do the things you ask of me.
Am G F E
Let
them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree.
I’d
wanna know, I’d wanna know, my God !

Am G F E
Why I
should die?
Am G F E
Would
I be more noticed than I ever was before ?

G F E
Would
the things I’ve said and done matter any more?

have to know, I’d have to know, my Lord !

I’d
have to know, I’d have to know, my Lord !

I’d
have to see, I’d have to see, my Lord !

Why
should I die ? Why should I die ?
Bm A G F#
Can

God,
thy will is hard, but you hold every card,

drink your cup of poison, nail me to your cross and break me,

I change my mind.
