the best song off gabrielle's album, "English Rain"

Take Me Away
Standard Tuning (EADGBE)
No Capo

*Note, when I play this, I pluck the 4 bass strings, (EADG)because thats how Gabby plays it.

G 
Take me away
           C
From the demons in my brain
         Em
Take me out into the world
         F                         G    C    
Take me out into the day and let me find
            G   C
My piece of mind

G
I was alone
       C
I was taken with the tide
      Em        
But I knew that I was home
         F  
When I looked into your eyes
         G   C 
And said I?m done
             G   C
Just let me go


     C/G
I am hollow
I am numb
       Em                             F
I am staring down the barrel of this gun

      C/G
I am always by myself
     Em     
In a sea of self infliction
        F 
That I felt

G
My life is a line
         C
Burning faster every time
         Em
Happy?s just a dead end street
        F
I must turn around and leave
           G   C
Once in a while
           G   C
Once in a while

G
I bear far more cracks
           C
Than the human eye can see
       Em
Is it fair to be perplexed
          F
And try explain what?s underneath
         G    C
With my success
                       G   C  
Cause there?s nothing left

C/G
I am tortured
by myself
      Em
I am haunted by
                    F
The fear of someone else

C/G
I am fading
I?m a ghost
   Em  
Disconnected from the ones
           F
I love the most

Am              G
You?ve seen my best
             Em
Turn to the worst
I?ve dragged you
F
Right down with me

Am          G
Want to confess
               Em
But with the stress
F
I?m scared you?d leave me

Am            G
I want you to know
              Em               F
But you can?t take it on your own
