Am
  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 
                  Dm  C 
I will call out your name 


Am
I've been a martyr for love 
Nailed up on the cross 
While you're having your fun 
As the damage is done 
               Dm  C
I'm assessing the cost 


Chorus:
G              Am          Dm           C
 I knew what I was letting myself in for 
G              Am          Dm           C
 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 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 
I've been a martyr for love
