I was sitting on the edge of his bed
 E             Esus4            E   Esus4
Staring at the headlines on the paper
         A
He said "look at poor Gene Kelly
  B                                E     Esus4  E   Esus4
I guess he won't be singing in the rain."
        Bm
You can take away my heroes
A                      E    F#7sus4    A    Bsus4
  Can you take away my pain

[Chorus]
             E   Esus4 E   Esus4
Take away my pain
                  E/D   Esus4/D   E/D   Esus4/D
Leave the cold outside
                    A/C#
Please don't let it rain
Asus2                     E   Esus4  E   Esus4
     Don't stumble on my pride
             E   Esus4 E   Esus4
Take away my pain
                      Bm6
I'm not frightened anymore
                    A/C#
Just stay with me tonight
                  Asus2
I'm tired of this fight
                               E
Soon I'll be knocking at your door

[Verse 2]
         E              Esus4       E   Esus4
She was standing by the edge of his bed
 E             Esus4            E     Esus4
Staring at the message on their faces
         A
He said "What else can you do, babe?
  B                             E     Esus4  E   Esus4
I guess I won't be coming home again."
          Bm
They just took away all my promises
A                        E    F#7sus4    A    Bsus4
  Make them take away my pain

[Chorus]
             E   Esus4 E   Esus4
Take away my pain
                  E/D   Esus4/D   E/D   Esus4/D
Leave the cold outside

Don't stumble on my pride
             E   Esus4 E   Esus4
Take away my pain

   His final scene

The actor bows
              Em
And all those years
             C
Are gone somehow
             C
The crowd applauds

The curtain falls

       E              Esus4       E     Esus4
I was standing by the edge of the water
  E             Esus4          E      Esus4
I noticed my reflection in the waves
       A
Then I saw you looking back at me
      B
And I knew that for a moment
         E              Esus4  E  Esus4
You were calling out my name
    Bm
You took away my hero
A                       E    F#7sus4    A    Bsus4
  Will you take away my pain

[Chorus]

Take away my pain
               E/D   Esus4/D   E/D   Esus4/D
Let the cold inside
                    A/C#       Asus2
It's time to let it rain
                        E
There's nothing left to hide
             E   Esus4 E   Esus4
Take away my pain
                      Bm6
I'm not frightened anymore
                   A/C#
I'm learning to survive
                  Asus2
Without you in my life
                             E
'Til you come knocking at my door
