This [B] song was written [Eb] by Jim Croce,

[Eb]
[Ab] They [Db] all said it was bound [Eb] to [Ebm] happen, [Ab] [Db] was just a matter of time.
Now [Ab] I've come [Db] to my decision [Eb] and
[Ab] it's one of the painful [Fm] kind.
Well [Db] it seems that [Eb] you wanted [Fm] a martyr, just [Db] a regular [Ab] girl wouldn't [Eb] do.
Now [Ebm] [Ab] baby, I [Db] can't hang upon the [Eb] lovers cross for [Ab] you.
I really [Db] gotta hand [Eb] it to ya, [Ab] boy you really [Eb] tried.
But [Ab] for [Db] every time that we [Eb] spent laughing [Ebm] there [Ab] were two times that I [Fm] cried.
[Gb] Cause I never [Eb] was much of [Fm] a martyr before and [Db] I ain't [Ab] gonna start nothing [Eb] new.
Oh [Ab] baby, I [Db] can't hang upon the [Eb] lovers cross for [Ab] you.
[Db] Tables [Eb] are meant for [Ab] turning [Db] and people [Ab] are bound [Eb] to change.
[Db] Bridges [Eb] are meant [Db] for
[Ab] burning [Db] when people [Ab] in memories [Db] aren't one in [Eb] the same.
Still [Ab] I hope [Db] that you can find [Eb]
another who [Ab] could take what I could [Eb] not.
She [Ab] would have [Db] to be a super [Eb]
girl [Ab] or maybe a Joan of [Fm] Arc.
Now [Db] I'm never [Eb]
much [Fm] of a martyr before [Db] and I ain't [Ab] gonna [Gb] start nothing [Eb] new.
Oh [Ab] baby, I [Db] can't hang upon the [Eb] lovers cross for [Ab] you.
