Take Me Away - Dan Murphy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a "Misc Your Song". It's a song I wrote, thanks.
Tabbed by: Dan Murphy

*Note: Original Song -- Pretty simple song to play. I like to play it on my
acoustic. I use a capo on the Second Fret, but it is not needed. Also, this is
my first attempt at tabbing anything. If I get positive feedback, I'll tab some
of my other songs. Emails are welcome. Comments, Questions, Compliments and
Constructive Critisim are all welcome.
Tuning: Half Step Down
Verse: Obviously the D and U's are Down/Up's. For the two group of 0's play them
down/up without hesitation. The others have a half a second pause.
Repeat Verse 8 times. The whole sequence serves one line of the song.

Chorus: Basic strum pattern here. The E in the beginning is just two down then
the C strums for a bit until the next away. Then the same from the G to the D.
On the second part "I don’t want to be here anymore" The last chord is the only
thing that changes. From a D to an A.

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
I sit all alone in my room
Thinking of the times that pass me by
I look out the window and I see you there
But then I crawl back to my bed
I sit there shaking in fear
Of what they’ll do next to me
I think I wanna run-run-away
Far away from your lies
Chorus:
Take me away from this place
I don’t want to be here anymore
Take me away from this world
I don’t want to be here anymore
Take me away forever
I don't want to be here anymore
Verse 2:
I lie down trying to sleep
But I cant I've lost all hope
I'm trying to get through these hard times
But no one seems to care
that I looked for you
I lie down once again thinking of you
I'm crashing down thinking of you
But you are not here
Verse 3:
I grab my shoes and my coat
look at you and say goodbye
I look back and think what I've done
then I remember
I'm unwanted in this place
I have to go, I have to leave
I'll miss this world I used to have
But none there remembers me
Outro:
Take me away
away
