the best song off gabrielle's album, "English Rain"
Take Me Away
Standard Tuning (EADGBE)
No Capo
*Note, when I play this, I pluck the 4 bass strings, (EADG)because thats how Gabby plays it.
G
Take me away
C
From the demons in my brain
Em
Take me out into the world
F G C
Take me out into the day and let me find
G C
My piece of mind
G
I was alone
C
I was taken with the tide
Em
But I knew that I was home
F
When I looked into your eyes
G C
And said I’m done
G C
Just let me go
C/G
I am hollow
I am numb
Em F
I am staring down the barrel of this gun
C/G
I am always by myself
Em
In a sea of self infliction
F
That I felt
G
My life is a line
C
Burning faster every time
Em
Happy’s just a dead end street
F
I must turn around and leave
G C
Once in a while
G C
Once in a while
G
I bear far more cracks
C
Than the human eye can see
Em
Is it fair to be perplexed
F
And try explain what’s underneath
G C
With my success
G C
Cause there’s nothing left
C/G
I am tortured
by myself
Em
I am haunted by
F
The fear of someone else
C/G
I am fading
I’m a ghost
Em
Disconnected from the ones
F
I love the most
Am G
You’ve seen my best
Em
Turn to the worst
I’ve dragged you
F
Right down with me
Am G
Want to confess
Em
But with the stress
F
I’m scared you’d leave me
Am G
I want you to know
Em F
But you can’t take it on your own
