Take It All Away by Owl City
Take It All Away
D A
there was a shot in the dark I was caught by surprise
D A
there was a hole in my heart, there were tears in your eyes
D A
and there was nothing to say cause you made up your mind
D A
so I guess what you meant you left was goodbye
D
so if youre gonna go
A
and leave me in a lonely grey
D
I wont let it show
A
until you finally float away
D & A are literally the only chords in the whole song. Repeat for other verses. I play
them as barr chords.

version 5
So the song can either be played without any capo but it produces a better sound with
the CAPO ON THE SECOND FRET...
So basically, the whole song is made with the chords C,F, Am, and G
Verse:
C
There was a shot in the dark,
F
I was caught by surprise
Am
There was a hole in my heart,
G
There were tears in your eyes
C
And there was nothing to say,
F
Cause you made up your mind
Am
And so I guess what you meant
G
When you left was goodbye.
Pre-chorus:
C F
So if your gonna go,
Am G
And leave me in a lonely gray
C F
I won't let it show,
Am G
Until you finally float away
Chorus:
C F
You gotta know that you tear me up
Am G
When you say you wanna take it all away, take it all away
C G
You tear it up when you say
Am F
You wanna take it all away, take it all away!
C F
You were the one, and it was enough
Am G
To be the one you were dreaming of!
C F
You were the one and we called it love
Am G
And now you take it all away, take it all away ay ay ay ay!
Verse:
I felt a pain in my chest with your kiss on my cheek
And as I tried to digest the words I couldn't believe
I'm left with nothing to say with my heart on my sleeve
Making it easy to hurt, and even harder to breathe
Pre-chorus:
So if you gonna go,
And leave me in the lonely gray
I won't let it show,
Until you finally float away
Chorus: (x2)
You gotta know that you tear me up
When you say you wanna take it away, take it away
You tear me up when you say
You wanna take it away, take it all away!
You were the one, and it was enough
To be the one you were dreaming of!
You were the one and we called it love
And now you take it away, take away!
You take it all away, you take it all away

version 6
CAPO SECOND FRET
Although using the transpose button off to the left, you can play it
without a capo... But I think it sounds better with a capo.
I searched and searched, and no one else's tab is even close to being right,
so here's yet another one, hopefully you like it better (:
The entire song is just four chords: C F Am G
(If you're playing bass, just replace all the C's with an E)
