Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Oh! Get me away from here I'm dying

 Play me a song to set me free

 Nobody writes them like they used to

 So it may as well be me

 Here on my own now after hours

 Here on my own now on a bus

 Think of it this way

 You could either be successful or be us

 With our winning smiles, and us

 With our catchy tunes, oh us

 Now we're photogenic

You know, we don't stand a chance (we don't stand a chance)

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

Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all

 From where I'm sitting, rain

 Falling 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 thought 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

Cry with these words

Ooh! Get me away I'm dying

Get me away I'm dying

Bb and F to end
