Intro: F#


Verse 1:
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


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#
