[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 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
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

Bb   F              Bb
Ooh! Get me away I'm dying

F              Bb
Get me away I'm dying
[Ending] Bb F
