Capo on 1

Intro: F#


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, oh us
          Bb
Now we're photogenic
Dm        Am               Bb	   F                Bb
You know, we don't stand a chance (we don't stand a chance)

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 tell a sorry story
            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
I always cry at endings

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           Am                Bb
But I could only make you cry with these words"
F        Bb
Cry with these words
F        Bb
Cry with these words
F    Bb              F
Ooh! Get me away I'm dying
Bb              F
Get me away I'm dying

Bb and F to end
