Song: Take On Me
By:   a-Ha

{ capo fret 2 }

[intro:]  Am  D  G  C C/B
          Am  D  G  C C/B

[verse: 1]
      Am        D
We're talking away
   G               C      C/B
I don't know what I'm to say
     Am        D
I'll say it anyway
  G              C      C/B
Today's another day to find you
Am        D
  Shying away
Em                       C
I'll be coming for your love, ok
 
[chorus:]
G      D/F# Em  C
Take   on   me 
G      Bm   Em  C          {Bm is a chord substitution for D/F#}
Take   me   on 
G      B7   Em    C        {B7 is another chord substitution for D/F#}     
I'll   be   gone
            G   D/F#  C   D
In a day or two
 
[Verse]
   Am           D
So needless to say
    G              C        C/B
I'm odds and ends, but that's me I'm
   Am       D
Stumbling away
G                    C    C/B
Slowly learning that life is ok
Am          D
  Say after me
Em                   C
It's no better to be safe than sorry
 
[Chorus]
G      D/F# Em  C
Take   on   me 
G      Bm   Em  C          {Bm or D/F#}  
Take   me   on 
G      B7   Em    C        {B7 or D/F#}      
I'll   be   gone
            G   D/F#  C   D
In a day or two

[bridge:]  Am  D  G  C C/B
           Am  D  G  C C/B
           Am  D  Am D

[Verse]
    Am                   D
Oh, the things that you say
G             C       C/B
Is it life or just to play
   Am        D
My worries away?
       G                   C      C/B
You're all the things I've got to remember
Am              D
  You're shying away
Em                 (C  chord is not played)
I'll be coming for you anyway
 
[Chorus]
G      D/F# Em  C
Take   on   me 
G      Bm   Em  C          {Bm or D/F#}   
Take   me   on 
G      B7   Em    C        {B7 or D/F#}
I'll   be   gone
             G   D/F#   Em   C
In a day or two
 
[coda:]
 G      B7   Em    C      {B7 or D/F#}
 I'll   be   gone
              G  D/F# Em  C
 In a day or two
             G  D/F# Cmaj7     {or Cadd9}
 In a day or two
