Intro:
F#
 
Verse 1:
F#          C#                 D#m
Oh! Get me away from here I'm dying
          A#m            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#            D#m
Here on my own now after hours
           A#m          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
    D#m  A#m              B       F#               B
You know we don't stand a chance (we don't stand a chance)
 
B - F#
A few times
 
Verse 2:
F#             C#                 D#m
Oh I'll settle down with some old story
        A#m                 B
About a boy who's just like me
                  F#           B
Thought there was love in everything and everyone
       C#   F#
You're so naive!
            C#           D#m
They always tell a sorry story
            A#m           B
They always get it in the end
             F#            G#               B             C#
Still it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly, and then
 
       B                 C#
With a winning smile the boy
     B           C#
With naivety succeeds
         B             D#m
At the final moment, I cried
  A#m              B  F#    B
I always cry at endings
 
B - F#
again a few times
 
Verse 3:
F#              C#              D#m
Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all
     A#m                B
From where I'm sitting, rain
          F#               B
Washing against the lonely tenement
    C#             F#
Has set my mind to wander
         C#            D#m
Into the windows of my lovers
           A#m           B
They never know unless I write
            F#           G#         B            C#
"This is no declaration, I just I'd let you know goodbye"
 
       B             C#
Said the hero in the story
       B             C#
"It is mightier than swords
         B
I could kill you sure
    D#m          A#m               B      F#
But I could only make you cry with these words"
         B      F#
Cry with these words
         B      F#
Cry with these words
         B      F#
Cry with these words
 
B           F#       B
Ooh! Get me away I'm dying
       F#       B
Get me away I'm dying
       F#       B
Get me away I'm dying
       F#       B
Get me away I'm dying
F#      B
Oo I'm dying
F#      B
Oo I'm dying
F#      B
Oo I'm dying
F#      B
Oo I'm dying
 
       F#       B
Get me away I'm dying... to end
