Intro:
Verse 1:
[tab]
Oh! Get me away from here I m dying[/tab]
[tab]
Play me a song to set me free[/tab]
[tab]
Nobody writes them like they used to[/tab]
[tab]
So it may as well be me[/tab]
[tab]
Here on my own now after hours[/tab]
[tab]
Here on my own now on a bus[/tab]
[tab]
Think of it this way[/tab]
[tab]
You could either be successful or be us[/tab]
Chorus:
[tab]
With our winning smiles, and us[/tab]
[tab]
With our catchy tunes and words[/tab]
[tab]
Now we re photogenic[/tab]
[tab]
You know we don t stand a chance (we don t stand a chance)[/tab]
- 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
