GET ME AWAY FROM HERE I'M DYING


(intro)

F 
 
(verse)

F           C                  Dm 
Ooh! Get me away from here I'm dying
           Am            Bb
Play me a song to set me free
       F                     Bb  
Nobody writes them like they used to 
      C              F                    
So it may as well be me
 
           C             Dm
Here on my own now after hours
           Am           Bb
Here on my own now on a bus
            F 
Think of it this way
          G         Bb               C   
You could either be successful or be us

(chorus)

         Bb                  C
With our winning smiles, and us
         Bb                  C
With our catchy tunes, and us
          Bb
Now we're photogenic
 Dm      Am               Bb
You know we don't stand a chance (we don't stand a chance)
 
Bb, F
 
(verse)

F           C                  Dm 
Oh I'll settle down with some old story
           Am            Bb
About a boy who's just like me
       F                     Bb  
Thought there was love in everything and everyone
C              F                    
You're so naive!
           C             Dm
After a while they always get it
           Am           Bb
They always reach a sorry end
            F 
Still it was worth it as 
          G         Bb               C   
I turned the pages solemnly, and then

       Bb                  C
With a winning smile the boy
   Bb                  C
With naivety succeeds
          Bb
At the final moment,
 Dm      Am               Bb
I cried I always cry at endings
 
Bb, F
 
(verse)
F           C                  Dm 
Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all
           Am            Bb
From where I'm sitting, rain
       F                     Bb  
Washing against the lonely tenement
C              F                    
Has set my mind to wander
           C             Dm
Into the windows of my lovers
           Am           Bb
They never know unless I write
            F 
"This is no declaration,
 G         Bb               C   
I just I'd let you know goodbye"
 
     Bb                  C
Said the hero in the story
   Bb                  C
"It is mightier than swords
          Bb
I could kill you sure
 Dm      Am               Bb
But I could only make you cry with these words"
 
Bb
Cry with these words
Ooh! Get me away I'm dying
 
Bb, F
