1.

^EI was sitting on the ^A2edge of his ^Ebed

^EStaring at the ^A2headlines on the ^Epaper

He said,^Hsus4 'Look at poor Gene Kelly

I guess ^A2he won't be singing in the ^Erain.'

You can ^Hsus4take away my heroes

^A2Can you take away my ^Epain



ref: <sup>F#m A2

Hsus4</sup>Take away my ^Epain

Leave the cold ^Hsus4outside

Please don't let it ^C#mrain

Don't ^A2stumble on my ^Epride



Take away my pain

I'm not frightened anymore

Just stay with me tonight

I'm tired of this fight

Soon I'll be knocking at your door



2.

She was standing by the edge of his bed

Staring at the message on their faces

He said, 'What else can you do, babe?

I guess I won't be coming home again.'

They just took away all my promises

Make them take away my pain



ref:

Take away my pain

Leave the cold outside

Please don't let it rain

Don't stumble on my pride



Take away my pain

I'm not frightened anymore

Just stay with me tonight

I'm tired of this fight

Soon I'll be knocking at your door



3.

I was standing by the edge of the water

I noticed my reflection in the waves

Then I saw you looking back at me

And I knew that for a moment

You were calling out my name

You took away my hero

Will you take away my pain



ref:

Take away my pain

Let the cold inside

It's time to let it rain

There's nothing left to hide



Take away my pain

I'm not frightened anymore

I'm learning to survive

Without you in my life

Til you come knocking at my door...
