Last night I had too much to drink, 

G
Sitting in a club with so many fools 
C
Playing to rules 
F                                          Am
Trying to impress but feeling rather empty 
F             C
I had another drink 
Drink - a - drink - a - drink - a - drink

What a way to spend that evening 
G
They all turn up with their friends 
C
Playing the game 
F                                  Am
But in the scene I should have been 
F    C
Far away 
Away, away, away, away, away...

B           A      A         G         G      F     E
Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before 

C                     F
I open the door to an empty room 
D               D sus4  D
Then I forget

The telephone rings and someone speaks 
G
She would very much like to go
C
Out to a show 
F                                            Am 
So what can I do - I can't think what to say 
F                   C
She sees through anyway 
Away, away, away, away, away...


Emadd9
Out of the front door I go 
G
Traffic's moving rather slow 
C
Arriving late,
F                                 Am
There she waits looking very angry,
F                   C
As cross as she can be 

Be, a - be, a - be, a - be, a - be...

B   B         A    A         G         G      F     E
Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before 

C                     F
I open the door to an empty room 
D               Dsus4  D
Then I forget...
