A#m7      D#
Talking away,
G#                C#      Cm7
I don’t know what I’m to say.
     A#m7        D#
I’ll say it anyway.
   G#            C#maj7  Cm7  A#m7
Today is another day to find you.
        D#7
Shying away,
Fm                     C#
I’ll be coming for you love okay.

Chorus:
G#   Cm7/G
Take on
Fm7 C#
Me. Take on me.
G#   Cm7/G
Take me
Fm7 C#
On. Take on me.
G#    Cm7/G
I’ll be
 Fm7 C#
Gone
    D#sus4 G# D#sus4 C# D#
In a day or two.

So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is okay
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry

Chorus

Oh, things that you say
Is it life or just to play my worries away?
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
Oh, I'll be coming for you anyway

Chorus:
Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day
Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone (Take on me)
In a day (Take on me)
