I ONLY WANT TO SAY (GETHSEMANE) (Jesus)


[in 4/4, Bb]


[verse]

  Bbm Bbm/Ab       Bbm/F# Bbm/F
  I   only want to say

  Ebm      Ebm/C#  Ebm/C  Ebm/Bb
  If there is a    way

  Ab        Absus  Ab  Dbsus C#
  Take this cup    a - way   from me

      F       F+   F  Bbmsus Bbm           F#
  For I don't want to taste  its poison -- feel it burn me

  Bbm/F           C7                 F    F+ F7   F
  I have changed, I'm not as sure as when we started


  Bbm    Bbm/Ab   Bbm/F# Bbm/F
  Then I was    inspired

  Ebm     Ebm/C#     Ebm/C Ebm/Bb
  Now I'm sad    and tired

  Ab      Absus  Ab Dbsus C#       F   F+  F
  Listen, sure - ly I've  exceeded expectations

  Bbmsus Bbm                F#
  Tried  for three years -- seems like thirty

  Bbm/F            F                   Bbm
  Could you ask as much from any other man?


[sub-verse]


  Bbm Ab F# F
  But if I  die

  Bbm          Ab                 F#                F
  See the saga through and do the things you ask of me

  Bbm               Ab               F#               F
  Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree

  Bbm                              Eb7
  I'd wanna know I'd wanna know my God   (x2)

  Bbm                            Eb7
  I'd wanna see I'd wanna see my God     (x2)


  Bbm Ab F#     F
  Why I  should die

  Bbm             Ab             F#       F
  Would I be more noticed than I ever was before?

  Bbm                   Ab            F#         F
  Would the things I've said and done matter any more?

  Bbm                                  Eb7
  I'd have to know I'd have to know my Lord   (x2)

  Bbm                                Eb7
  I'd have to see I'd have to see my Lord     (x2)

  Cm  Bb     Ab G     Cm  Bb     Ab G
  Why should I  die?  Why should I  die?

  Cm              Bb               Ab               G
  Can you show me now that I would not be killed in vain?

  Cm             Bb             Ab          G
  Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain

  Cm                Bb              Ab            G
  Show me there's a reason for your wanting me to die

         Cm              Bb                Ab            G
  You're far too keen on where and how and not so hot on why

[repeat Cm - Bb - Ab - G progression]

  Alright I'll die!  Just watch me die!

  See how I die!  See how I die!
