Jim Croce – Lovers Cross (Guitar)

C          Am      Dm        G7     C          Am        Dm  G7
Guess that it was bound to happen; was just a matter of time

               C     Am     Dm                C          C/B     Am
But now I've come to my decision, And it's a-one of the painful kind

Am/G            F              G        Am    Am/G
'Cause now it seems that you wanted a martyr,

     F         C/E          Dm   G7
Just a regular guy wouldn't do

      C    C/B     Am    Dm              G7       C   C7
But baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you.

        C     Am     Dm      G7            C          Am      Dm  G7
Yes I really got to hand it to you, 'cause girl, you really tried

         C     Am       Dm         G7
But for every time that we spent laughin'

            C   C/B     Am    Am/G
There were two times that I cried.

                F        G           Am Am/G
And you were tryin' to make me your martyr

                F           C            Dm  G7
And that's the one thing I just couldn't do

       C     C/B      Am   Dm       G7               C  C7
'Cause baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you.

      F            G         Am Em
'Cause tables are meant for turnin',

     F          C         Dm     G7
And people are bound to change

    F             G        Am Em
And bridges are meant for burnin',

          F E   Dm  C C/B    Am   Dm7             G7  Dm7 G7
When the people and memories they join aren't the same

          C        Am       Dm    G7             C       Am      Dm G7
So I'll hope that you can find another who can take what I could not

C             Am    Dm    G7       C     C/B   Am Am/G
He'll have to be a super guy or maybe a super god

          F         G          Am    Am/G
'Cause I never was much of a martyr before

        F              C/E         Dm    G7
And I ain't 'bout to start nothin' new

      C      C/B   Am   Dm              G7        C
And baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you.
