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

< 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
