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

[Chorus]
              E 
Take away my pain
                   Dsus2 
Leave the cold outside
                     C#m7      A 
Please don't let it rain  
                     E 
Don't stumble on my pride
              E 
Take away my pain
                       Bm7 
I'm not frightened anymore
                      C#m7 
Just stay with me tonight
                   A 
I'm tired of this fight
                               E 
Soon I'll be knocking at your door

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

[Chorus]
              E 
Take away my pain
                   Dsus2 
Leave the cold outside
                     C#m7      A 
Please don't let it rain  
                     E 
Don't stumble on my pride
              E 
Take away my pain
                       Bm7 
I'm not frightened anymore
                      C#m7 
Just stay with me tonight
                   A 
I'm tired of this fight
                               E 
Soon I'll be knocking at your door

 C 
His final scene
           Em 
The actor bows
And all those years
              C 
Are gone somehow
The crowd applauds
             Em 
The curtain falls

[Solo]
C Em D Em D C D C D E 

[Verse 3]
 E
I was standing by the edge of the water
I noticed my reflection in the waves
          A 
Then I saw you looking back at me
   B                                E
And I knew that for a moment
         Bm                   A
You were calling out my name
         Bm                   A
You took away my hero
                      E    F#    A    B
Will you take away my pain

[Chorus]
              E 
Take away my pain
             Dsus2 
Let the cold inside
                     C#m7      A 
It's time to let it rain
                        E 
There's nothing left to hide
              E 
Take away my pain
                       Bm7 
I'm not frightened anymore
                      C#m7 
I'm learning to survive
                   A 
Without you in my life
                               E 
'Til you come knocking at my door
