Verse 1:
G#
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
C# E G
I will call out your name

G#
I've been a martyr for love
Nailed up on the cross
While you're having your fun
As the damage is done
C# E G
I'm assessing the cost
Chorus:
Fm Gm G#m E
I knew what I was letting myself in for
Fm Gm G#m E
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
C# E G
Couldn't leave if I tried
Verse 4 (plays in a key of G# only with bass & quieter then other 3 till the chords C# E G):

Tortured every hour
From the day I was born
I've been moved like a pawn

By the greatest of powers

Fm Gm G#m E
A way that I would never outgrow the pain

I've been a martyr for love...
