Notes:
- You really need two guitars, one for the chords and one for the various riffs, but if
you're singing then you can leave the riffs out and concentrate on the chords.
- All the riffs have been tabbed out for a non-capoed guitar - this makes it clearer and
easier to understand - I've put a note above each riff just to remind readers.
- I've tabbed out the riffs the way I play them - obviously you can change them by playing
the same notes on different strings etc, but they're probably easiest to play in the form
I've put them in.

Verse 1
We're talking away
Well, I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, ok?
Chorus
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two...
Verse 2
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends, but I'll be
Stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is ok
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry
Chorus
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two...
Bridge
There's an arpeggio played on the synth over the second Bm. It's quite tricky so if
you can't play it, just play the chords. Here it is in tab:

Repeat, and fade out over the second F. Then fade back in over the D, and stop just before
the pre-verse.

Verse 3
Oh, the things that you say
Yeah, is it life or just to play
My worries away?
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Chorus
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day...
Outro
(Take on me) Take on me
(Take me on) Take on me
I'll be gone
In a day...
*Strum the Cadd9 slowly...*
