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
[Refrão]
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
[Refrão]
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
