Bbm Bbm7 Bbmaddb6 Bbm
I only want to say
Ebm Ebm7 Ebm6 Ebm
If there is a way
Ab Ab7 Db Db6/Eb
Take this cup away from me
F F7 Bbm Bbm/F
For I don't want to taste its poison
Gb Bbm/F
Feel it burn me, I have changed
C7
I'm not as sure
F F7+
As when we started
Bbm Bbm7 Bbmaddb6 Bbm
Then I was inspired
Ebm Ebm7 Ebm6 Ebm
Now I'm sad and tired
Ab Ab7 Db Db6/Eb
Listen, surely I've exceeded
F F7 Bbm Bbm/F
Expectations, tried for three years
Gb Bbm F Bbm Bbm7
Seems like thirty, 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
[JESUS] (5/4)

I'd want to know, I'd want to know, my God

I'd want to see, I'd want to see, my God
Bb7 Eb7
I'd want to see, I'd want to see, my God
[JESUS]
Bbm Ab Gb F
Why I should die
Bbm Ab Gb F
Would I be more noticed than I ever was before
Bbm Ab Gb F
Would the things I've said and done matter anymore
[JESUS] (5/4)
Bb7 Eb7
I'd have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord
Bb7 Eb7
I'd have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord

I'd have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord

I'd have to see, I'd have to see my Lord
C7 F7
If I die, what will be my reward
C7 F7
If I die, what will be my reward
Cm7 F
Have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord
Cm7 F
Have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord
[JESUS]
Cm Bb Ab G Cm Bb Ab G
Why... why should I die, Oh, why should I die
Cm Bb Ab G
Can you show me now that I would not be killed in vain
Cm Bb Ab G
Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain
Cm Bb Ab G
Show me there's a reason for you wanting me to die
Cm Bb Ab G
Far too keen on where and how but not so hot on why
Cm Bb Ab G Cm Bb Ab G
Alright, oh... no, just watch me die
Cm Bb Ab G Cm Bb Ab G
See how, see how I'll die Oh, just watch me die
