[Intro]
| Am | D/F# | G | C G/B |
| Am | D/F# | G | C G/B |
 
[Verse]
Am       D/F#
Talking away
     Em                       G5
Well I don't know what I'm to say
     Am        D/F#
I'll say it anyway
  Em                   G5
Today's another day to find you
Am       D/F#
 Shying away
Em                        C
  I'll be coming for your love, ok? And ...
 
[Chorus]
G    D/F# Em  | Em D/F# |
Take on   me
G    Bm7  | Em C |
Take me   on
G    B7/D# Em   [ C ]
I'll be    gone
C           | G D/F# | C D |
 In a day or two
 
[Verse]
   Am          D/F#
So needless to say
    Em                        G5
I'm odds and ends, but that's me
    Am         D/F#
I'm stumbling away
Em                           G5
Slowly learning that life is ok
    Am        D/F#
And say after me
Em                    C
 It's no better to be safe than sorry, and ...
 
[Chorus]
G     D/F# Em  | Em D/F# |
 Take on   me
G    Bm7  | Em C |
Take me   on
G    B7/D# Em   [ C ]
I'll be    gone
C           | G D/F# | C D |
 In a day or two
 
[Solo]
| Am | D/F# | G | C G/B |
| Am | D/F# | G | C G/B |
| Am | D/F# | Am | D/F# |
 
[Verse]
        Am              D/F#
And all things that you say
Em                   G5
Is it life or just a play
   Am       D/F#
My worries away?
       Em                           G5
You're all the things I've got to remember
       Am      D/F#
You're shying away
Em                  C
 I'll be coming for you anyway
 
[Chorus]
G    D/F# Em  | Em D/F# |
Take on   me
G    Bm7  | Em C |
Take me   on
G    B7/D# Em   [ C ]
I'll be    gone
C           | G D/F# | Em C |
 In a day or two
 
[Coda]
G    B7/D# Em   [ C ]
I'll be    gone
C           | G D/F# | Em C |
 In a day or two
[ C ]         | G D/F# | C
   In a day or two

As far as i can hear it's perfect, thanks a lot!

Way to go man. As soon as I heard this in Deadpool I started working on the way they did this. Love love love this version, thanks for your contribution!

Excellent. Only changes I'd make is that this version changes one lyric - instead of "I'm odds and ends, but I'll be" it's "I'm odds and ends, but that's me." Also, these chords are for Capo II.
