A minorAm
I've been a martyr for love
And I will die in the flames
As I draw my last breath
As I'm close in on death
DmDm C majorC
I will call out your name
A minorAm
I've been a martyr for love
Nailed up on the cross
While you're having your fun
As the damage is done
DmDm C majorC
I'm assessing the cost
Chorus:
G+G A minorAm DmDm C majorC
I knew what I was letting myself in for
G+G A minorAm DmDm C majorC
I knew that I could never even the score
I've been a martyr for love
I need to be by your side
I have knelt at your feet
I have felt your deceit
Couldn't leave if I tried
I've been a martyr for love
Tortured every hour
From the day I was born
I've been moved like a pawn
By the greatest of powers
Chorus:
I knew that I would have to suffer in vain
A augmentedA way that I would never outgrow the pain
(Riff plays till the end)
I've been a martyr for love
I've been a martyr for love
