[Verse 1]
[Am]I only want to s[F]ay[Am][Dm]
If there is [Bdim]a way[Dm][G]
Take this cup [F]away [C]from me
For [E]I don't want to t[Am]aste its poison
[F]Feel it burn me,[Am]
I have changed I'm [B]not as sure
As [E]when we started
[Am]Then I was inspire[F]d[Am][Dm]
Now I'm sad an[Bdim]d tired[Dm][G]
Listen surely [C]I've [E]exceeded
Expectations
[Am]Tried for three [F]years
Seems like [Am]thirty
Could you ask [E]as much
From any other [Am]man?

[Verse 2]
[Am]But [G]if I[F] d[E]ie
[Am]See the saga through
[G]And do the[F] things you ask of [E]me
[Am]Let them hate me, [G]hit me, hurt me
[F]Nail me to their [E]tree
[A]I'd want to know
I'd want to know my God
[Am]I'd want to [A]know
I'd want to know [Am]my God
I'd want to see
I'd want to see my God
I'd want to see
I'd want to see my God
Why [G]I s[F]hould d[E]ie
[Am]Would I be more no[G]ticed
Than I [F]ever was before?
[E]Wou[Am]ld the things I've sai[G]d and done
[F]Matter any [E]more?
[A]I'd have to know
I'd have to know [Am]my Lord
I'd have to [A]know
I'd have to know my Lord
[Am]I'd have to see
I'd have to see my Lord
[A]I'd have to see
I'd have to see [Am]my Lord

[Bm]If I die w[B]hat will be my rewar[E]d?
If I [B]die what will be my [E]reward?

I'd have to know [E]my Lord
[Bm]Why, why [A]should

[Verse 4]

That I would [G]not be killed [F#]in vain?
[Bm]Show me just a [A]little
Of your [G]omnipresent [F#]brain
[Bm]Show me there's a [A]reason
For your [G]wanting me [F#]to die
[Bm]You're far too keen on
[A]where and how
[G]But not so hot on [F#]why[Bm]

To [Bm]finish what I [C#]started
What you [F#]started
