GET ME AWAY FROM HERE, I'M DYING By Belle & Sebastian From the album 'If You're Feeling Sinister' Transcribed by Ben Ufton Submitted by Thelonius Intro: F# Verse 1:
F#          C#                 D#m
Oh! Get me away from here I'm dying

          A#m            B
Play me a song to set me free

       F#                    B
Nobody writes them like they used to

      C#             F#
So it may as well be me

           C#            D#m
Here on my own now after hours

           A#m          B
Here on my own now on a bus

            F#
Think of it this way

          G#        B                C#
You could either be successful or be us
Chorus:
         B                   C#
With our winning smiles, and us

         B                C#
With our catchy tunes and words

          B
Now we're photogenic

    D#m  A#m              B       F#               B
You know we don't stand a chance (we don't stand a chance)

B - F#
A few times
Verse 2:
F#             C#                 D#m
Oh I'll settle down with some old story

        A#m                 B
About a boy who's just like me

                  F#           B
Thought there was love in everything and everyone

       C#   F#
You're so naive!

            C#           D#m
They always tell a sorry story

            A#m           B
They always get it in the end

             F#            G#               B             C#
Still it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly, and then

       B                 C#
With a winning smile the boy

     B           C#
With naivety succeeds

         B             D#m
At the final moment, I cried

  A#m              B  F#    B
I always cry at endings

B - F#
again a few times
Verse 3:
F#              C#              D#m
Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all

     A#m                B
From where I'm sitting, rain

          F#               B
Washing against the lonely tenement

    C#             F#
Has set my mind to wander

         C#            D#m
Into the windows of my lovers

           A#m           B
They never know unless I write

            F#           G#         B            C#
"This is no declaration, I just I'd let you know goodbye"

       B             C#
Said the hero in the story

       B             C#
"It is mightier than swords

         B
I could kill you sure

    D#m          A#m               B      F#
But I could only make you cry with these words"

         B      F#
Cry with these words

         B      F#
Cry with these words

         B      F#
Cry with these words

B           F#       B
Ooh! Get me away I'm dying

       F#       B
Get me away I'm dying

       F#       B
Get me away I'm dying

       F#       B
Get me away I'm dying

F#      B
Oo I'm dying

F#      B
Oo I'm dying

F#      B
Oo I'm dying

F#      B
Oo I'm dying

       F#       B
Get me away I'm dying... to end
