F# Oh! Get me a C# way from here I'm d Ebm ying
Play me a Bbm song to set me B free
Nobody F# writes them like they B used to
So it C# may as well be F# me
Here on my C# own now after Ebm hours
Here on my Bbm own now on a B bus
Think of it F# this way
You could G# either be B successful or be C# us
Chorus:
With our B winning smiles, and C# us
With our B catchy tunes and C# words
Now we're B photogenic
You Ebm know Bbm we don't stand a B chance ( F# we don't stand a B 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
