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 
Verse 2:
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:
F#m          Gm            G#m           E
 I knew what I was letting myself in for 

F#m          Gm            G#m           E
 I knew that I could never even the score 
Intro riff goes Verse 3:
G#
  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): I've been a martyr for love Tortured every hour From the day I was born I've been moved like a pawn
                  C#    E G  
By the greatest of powers 
Chorus:
F#m          Gm            G#m           E
I knew that I would have to suffer in vain 

F#m          Gm            G#m           E
A way that I would never outgrow the pain 
Outro (intro riff plays till the end):
G#
  I've been a martyr for love 
I've been a martyr for love I've been a martyr for love...
