D Em7 G
Line of people to pass you by,
D Em7 G
Posing sympathy with their whitewash eyes
D Em7 G
Ladies feigning their mourning cries
D Em7 G
And the men shaking hands
[Chorus]
A G
Weigh Away
A G
Way away
G C D/F#
All the pictures in your mind
G D Cadd9
As you're passed the thousandth time
Cadd9
Thousandth photograph
[Verse 2]
D Em7 G
Listen to sympathetic lies
D Em7 G
As their reasons change under mourning guise
D Em7 G
With the gentlemen feigning sorrowed sighs
D Em7 G
And drinking champagne
[Chorus]
A G
Weigh Away
A G
Way away
G C D/F#
As all the people pass and pose
G D Cadd9
You hold back the tears and hold
Cadd9
On to memories
[Verse 3]
D Em7 G
Small talk hangs like a dirty cloud
D Em7 G
Saying nothing real but deafening loud
D Em7 G
An urge to run away from the crowd
D Em7 G
And mourn all alone
D Em7 G
Make a promise to no-one
D Em7 G
Wondering if you'd been worthwhile
D Em7 G
Turn away from the chatter
D Em7 G
And the hungry smiles
