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
Belle & Sebastian fans would be well advised to browse Paul
Mitchell's appealing site 'Sinister' at
www.ph.ed.ac.uk/~mitchell/sinister/
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BELLE AND SEBASTIAN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
