Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying

Intro

F
F          C                 Dm
Oh! 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
         Bb                   C
With our winning smiles, and us
         Bb                C
With our catchy tunes and words
          Bb
Now we're photogenic
    Dm  Am              Bb        F               Bb
You know we don't stand a chance
( Bb  F )
     F          C                 Dm
Oh I'll settle down with some old story
          Am            Bb
About a boy who's just like me
                  F               Bb            C
Thought there was love in everything and everyone
            F
You're so naive!
              C            Dm
They always reach a sorry ending
             Am          Bb
They always get it in the end
               F            G                   Bb          C
Still it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly, and then
         Bb                C
With a winning smile the boy
       Bb         C
With naivety succeeds
          Bb               Dm
At the final moment, I cried
   Am             Bb      F     Bb
I always cry at endings
( Bb  F )
F               C                 Dm
Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all
          Am             Bb
From where I'm sitting, rain
           F               Bb
Falling 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            G                Bb               C
"This is no declaration, I just thought 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                             Bb            F
But I could only make you cry with these words"
            Bb         F
Cry with these words
( Bb )
F   Bb               F
Ooh! Get me away I'm dying
( Bb  F )
