Jesus:   I only want to say 
------ Ebm        Ebm/Db   Ebm/C  Ebm/Bb 
         If there   is   a way 
       Ab         Asus  Ab   Dbsus Db          F          F+  F Bbmsus 
         Take this cup   a - way   from me for   I don't want to taste - 
               Bbm/Db 
         It's poison 
      Gb                 Bbm/F 
         Feel it burn me,     I have changed 
      C7                       F     F+     F7      F 
         I'm not as sure as   when   we     star - ted. 
 

          Bbm  Bbm7               Bbm7    Bbm6 
         Then        I  was    inspired 
      Ebm    Ebm/Db        Ebm/C  Ebm/Bb 
         Now   I'm sad and tired 
      Ab        Absus  Ab7  Dbsus Db/F Db9  Db  F       F+ F7 
         Listen sure - ly   I've  ex - cu - ded    expectations 
      Bbmsus        Bbm9  Bbm/Db  Gb 
         Tried for three years   seems like thirty 
      Bbm/F                F                   Bbm 
         Could you ask as much from any other man ? 
 

            Bbm  Ab  Gb  F 
            But  if  I  die 
            Bbm             Ab                Gb              F 
            See the Saga through and do the things you ask of me 
            Bbm                Ab               Gb               F 
            Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree 
               Bbm                           Eb major! 
               I'd wanna know I'd wanna know my God 
               Bbm                           Eb      ... 
               I'd wanna see I'd wanna see my God 
 
            Why I should die ? 
            Would I be more noticed than I ever was before ? 
            Would the things I've said and done matter any more ? 
               I'd have to know I'd have to know my lord 
               I'd have to see I'd have to see my lord 
               But if I die what will be my reward ? 
               I'd have to know I'd have to know my lord 
            Why I should die ? 
            Can't you show me now that I wouldn't be killed in 
vain ? 
            Show me just a little your omnipresent brain 
            Show me there's a reason for your wanting me to die 
            You're far to keen on where and how and not so hot oh 
why 
               Alright I'll die ! 
               Just watch me die ! 
               See how I die ! 
 
       Then I was inspired 
       Now I'm sad and tired 
       After all I've tried for three years seems like ninety why 
then am I 
       Scared to finish what I started, what you started - I 
didn't start it 
       God thy will is hard 
       But you hold every card 
       I will drink your cup of poison nail me to the cross and 
break me, 
       Bleed me, beat me, kill me, take me now - before I change 
my mind !..
