  			The Martyr 

D                      Cm   G           A 
Why, why was I born to know what I must know 
              D                                C 
I can see the sky but I can't see the ground below 
G          A 
Where do I go? 

G/D   D                           F 
Falling in a trap where traitors wait 
                 C 
Lost love is the bait 
        D            C 
But the martyr never knows 
      D                        C 
He is caught in a dream of his own 
          D                  C 
When it's over where does he go 
Em         Bb                      C 
Who really knows, Who really knows 

Time stands between me and my home, So long ago 
I can't stand to wait but I can't force my body to go 
Where do I go? 

Crying, he is blind to everyone 
And that's how its done 
And the martyr never knows 
He is caught in a dream of his own 
When it's over where does he go 
Who really knows 

C          D    D/C  D/B  D/Bb         D     D/C  D/B 
Who really knows          I know in my heart 
D/Bb               D    D/C  D/B      D/Bb         D 
I could change the world         with just this guitar 
D/C        D/B  D/Bb  D   D/C  D/B D/Bb 
Who really knows 

Falling in a trap where traitors wait...
