"Take Away My Pain" (chords) Transcribed by Dan Morris ([email protected]) [Verse]
 E
I was sitting on the edge of his bed
Staring at the headlines on the paper
          A 
He said "look at poor Gene Kelly

   B                                E
I guess he won't be singing in the rain."

         Bm                   A
You can take away my heroes

                      E    F#    A    B
Can you take away my pain
[Chorus]
              E 
Take away my pain

                   Dsus2 
Leave the cold outside

                     C#m7      A 
Please don't let it rain  

                     E 
Don't stumble on my pride

              E 
Take away my pain

                       Bm7 
I'm not frightened anymore

                      C#m7 
Just stay with me tonight

                   A 
I'm tired of this fight

                               E 
Soon I'll be knocking at your door
[Verse 2]
 E
She was standing by the edge of his bed
Staring at the message on their faces
          A 
He said "What else can you do, babe?

   B                                E
I guess I won't be coming home again."

         Bm                   A
They just took away all my promises

                      E    F#    A    B
Make them take away my pain
[Chorus]
              E 
Take away my pain

                   Dsus2 
Leave the cold outside

Take away my pain

I'm not frightened anymore

Soon I'll be knocking at your door

His final scene

           Em 
The actor bows
And all those years
              C 
Are gone somehow
The crowd applauds
             Em 
The curtain falls
[Solo] C Em D Em D C D C D E [Verse 3]
 E
I was standing by the edge of the water
I noticed my reflection in the waves
          A 
Then I saw you looking back at me

   B
And I knew that for a moment

         E
You were calling out my name

         Bm                   A
You took away my hero

                      E    F#    A    B
Will you take away my pain
[Chorus]
              E 
Take away my pain

             Dsus2 
Let the cold inside

                     C#m7      A 
It's time to let it rain

                        E 
There's nothing left to hide

              E 
Take away my pain

                       Bm7 
I'm not frightened anymore

                      C#m7 
I'm learning to survive

                   A 
Without you in my life

                               E 
'Til you come knocking at my door
