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
