Verse:
  F           G
We're talking away
 C  
I don't know what
Am              F         G
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
C               Am
Today's another day to find you
F      G
Shying away
Am                      F
I'll be coming for your love , OK? 

Chorus: 
C    G  Am                          
Take on me
C    G  Am
take me on
C    G  Am
I'll be gone
            C  G  Am   
In a day or two 


Verse:
   F           G
So needless to say
    C             Am
I'm odds and ends
              F          G
But that's me stumbling away
C                    Am
Slowly learning that life is OK
F            G
Say after me 
Am                   F
It's no better to be safe than sorry 


Chorus: 
C    G  Am                          
Take on me
C    G  Am
take me on

I'll be gone

In a day or two 

Verse:
       F               G
Oh the things that you say
C
Is it live or
Am              F        G
Just to play my worries away
       C                   Am
You're all the things I've got to remember
  F           G
You're shying away
Am                     F
I'll be coming for you anyway 


Chorus: 
C    G  Am                          
Take on me
C    G  Am
take me on
C    G  Am
I'll be gone
            C  G  Am   
In a daaaaaaaaay!

(St. James)

In the chorus I like to add an F major chord after every A minor chord it sounds more complete

its in a good key for me (a female singer) just not the same key as the original. nice chords though!

the key is fine.. is an upbeat version. but the third verse is "life" not "live" (as per A-ha's website)

(Cornerbrook)

I like this :D but in the chorus after the first a minor it feels wrong, but I still think you did a good job
