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 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
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
