A Martyr For My Love For You Tabulatur von The White Stripes

Verse 1:

       Am           Em    
she was sixteen and six feet tall
     D                         C  
In a crowd of teenagers coming out of the zoo
    Am                Em                         
She stumbled start to slip and fall
        D                            C 
Teeter-tottered on the top of patent leather shoes
  Am          Em                                      
I happened to catch her and said,
       D                      C                             Am     Em
"maybe these ruby shoes are a little cumbersome for you"
          Am   Em        
maybe for you, yeah.

                   Am

Verse 2:

Am                    Em
But not as shaky as I must have seemed
        D                        C
Talkin' junk through her giggle, little teenage dream
Am                         Em
And on the phone I could not compete
    D                        C
My dumb-love fake competence was getting weak
  Am                   Em 
For a sec' I thought I sounded sweet
    D                      C
But sure 'nough in a gruff, faint voice
        Am     Em      Am
I heard myself speak


Chorus:
D              A
I could stay a while
    C               G
But sooner or later I'll break your smile
D         A
And I can tell a joke
    C                 G
But one of these days I'm bound to choke
D                    A
And we could share a kiss
      C                    G
But I feel like I can't go through with this
    D              A
And I bet we could build a home
      C                    G
But I know the right thing for me to do
                Am     Em
Is to leave you alone
          Am     Em
Leave you alone, now


   Am            Em

Verse 3:

Am
I'm beginning to like you
                                   C
So you probably won't get what I'm going to do
Am            Em     
I'm walkin' away from you
   D                        C
It probably don't make much sense to you
Am                Em    
But I'm trying to save you
     D                      C                        Am     Em
From all of the things that I'll probably say or do
     Am           Em
I'll probably say or do. 

Chorus:

I could stay a while
But sooner or later I'll break your smile
And I can tell a joke
But one of these days I'm bound to choke
And we might share a kiss
But I feel like a can't go through with this
And I bet we could build a home
But I know the right thing for me to do
Is to leave you alone
Leave you alone, now

Verse 4 : Vocals Only 
Am
You'll probably call me a fool
And say I'm doin' exactly what a coward would do
And I'm beginning to like you
What a shame it's a lame way to live
But what can I do?
I hope you appreciate what I do
                     Am       Em     Am
I'm a martyr for my love for you
 Em                      Am    Em    Am
A martyr for my love for you, now
 Em                    Am    Em     Am 
A martyr for my love for you
 Em                    Am   Em     Am
A martyr for my love for you

Am     Em
