    Verse 1:
  •  
    Am Em
    She was sixteen and six feet tall
  • D C
    In a crowd of teenagers comin' out of the zoo
    Am Em
  • She stumbled started 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
  • "maybe these ruby shoes are a little cumbersome for you"

  • Verse 2:
     
    But not as shaky as I must have seemed
  • Talkin' junk through her giggle, little teenage dream
    And on the phone I could not compete
    My dumb-love fake competence was getting weak
  • For a sec' I thought I sounded sweet
    But sure 'nough in a gruff, faint voice
    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
    Is to leave you alone
  • Am Em
    Leave you alone, now

  • Verse 3:
    I'm beginning to like you
    So you probably won't get what I'm going to do
  • I'm walkin' away from you
    It probably don't make much sense to you
    But I'm trying to save you
  • From all of the things that I'll probably say or do

  • Verse 4:
     
    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
    I'm a martyr for my love for you
  • A martyr for my love for you, now
    A martyr for my love for you
    A martyr for my love for you
