Intro: F#5
 
F#5          C#5                 Eb5 
Oh! Get me away from here I'm dying
          Bb5            B5
Play me a song to set me free
       F#5                    B5  
Nobody writes them like they used to 
      C#5             F#5                    
So it may as well be me
 

           C#5            Eb5
Here on my own now after hours
           Bb5          B5
Here on my own now on a bus
            F#5 
Think of it this way
          G#5        B5                C#5   
You could either be successful or be us
 

         B5                   C#5
With our winning smiles, and us
       B5                C#5
With our catchy tunes and words
          B5
Now we're photogenic
    Eb5  Bb5              B5        F#5               B5
You know we don't stand a chance (we don't stand a chance)
 

( B5 - F#5 )
 

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
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
