Key: D
Introduction:
F C Dm
Oh! Get me away from here I'm dying
Am Bb
Play me a song to set me free
F Bb
Nobody writes them like they used to
C F
So it may as well be me
C Dm
Here on my own now after hours
Am Bb
Here on my own now on a bus
F
Think of it this way
G Bb C
You could either be successful or be us
Bb C
With our winning smiles, and us
Bb C
With our catchy tunes and words
Bb
Now we're photogenic
Dm Am Bb F Bb
You know we don't stand a chance
Bb F)
F C Dm
Oh I'll settle down with some old story
Am Bb
About a boy who's just like me
F Bb C
Thought there was love in everything and everyone
F
You're so naive!
C Dm
They always reach a sorry ending
Am Bb
They always get it in the end
F G Bb C
Still it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly, and then
Bb C
With a winning smile the boy
Bb C
With naivety succeeds
Bb Dm
At the final moment, I cried
Am Bb F Bb
I always cry at endings
Bb F)
F C Dm
Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all
Am Bb
From where I'm sitting, rain
F Bb
Falling against the lonely tenement
C F
Has set my mind to wander
C Dm
Into the windows of my lovers
Am Bb
They never know unless I write
F G Bb C
"This is no declaration, I just thought I'd let you know goodbye"
Bb C
Said the hero in the story
Bb C
"It is mightier than swords
Bb
I could kill you sure
Dm Bb F
But I could only make you cry with these words"
Bb F
Cry with these words
Bb)
F Bb F
Ooh! Get me away I'm dying
Bb F)
