They always reach a sorry ending They always get it in the end Still it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly and then Chorus: With a winning smile, the poor boy With naivety succeeds At the final moment, I cried I always cry at endings I always cry at endings Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all From where I'm sitting, rain Falling 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 thought I'd let you know, goodbye" Chorus: 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 Cry with these words Cry with these words" Oh, get me away, I'm dying Get me away, I'm dying Get me away, I'm dying Get me away, I'm dying Oh, I'm dying Oh, I'm dying, yeah Oh, I'm dying, yeah Oh, get me away, I'm dying Get me away, I'm dying Get me away, I'm dying Get me away, I'm dying Oh, I'm dying Oh, I'm dying You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#m  B  C#  D#m  F#  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
