F#          C#                 Ebm
Oh! Get me away from here I'm dying

          Bbm            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#            Ebm
Here on my own now after hours

           Bbm          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

    Ebm  Bbm              B       F#               B
You know we don't stand a chance (we don't stand a chance)

B - F# A few times < Same pattern as first verse > Verse 2: Oh I'll settle down with some old story About a boy who's just like me Thought there was love in everything and everyone You're so naive! They always tell a sorry story They always get it in the end Still it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly, and then With a winning smile the boy With naivety succeeds At the final moment, I cried I always cry at endings B - F# again a few times Verse 3: Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all >From where I'm sitting, rain Washing against the lonely tenement Has set my mind to wander Into the windows of my lovers They never know unless I write "This is no declaration, I just I'd let you know goodbye" Said the hero in the story "It is mightier than swords I could kill you sure But I could only make you cry with these words" Cry with these words Ooh! Get me away I'm dying B - F# to end Belle & Sebastian fans would be well advised to browse Paul Mitchell's appealing site 'Sinister' at www.ph.ed.ac.uk/~mitchell/sinister/
