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
