[Intro]
 D   Em7     G(x2)
(When you play the D, you should hammer on the A on the 3rd string)

Posing Dsympathy with their Em7whitewash eGyes
DLadies feigning their Em7mourning cGries
And the Dmen shaking handsEm7  G  
[Chorus]
AWeigh  GAway

GAll the Cpictures in your D/F#mind
As you're Gpassed the tDhousandth Cadd9time
Thousandth Cadd9photograph

DListen to sympatEm7hetic lGies
As their Dreasons change under Em7mourning gGuise
With the Dgentlemen feigning Em7sorrowed sGighs
And Ddrinking champagneEm7  G  
[Chorus]
AWeigh GAway
AWay Gaway
GAs all the Cpeople pass and D/F#pose
You hold Gback the Dtears and Cadd9hold
On to Cadd9memories
[Verse 3]
DSmall talk hangs like a Em7dirty cGloud
Saying Dnothing real but Em7deafening lGoud
An Durge to run away Em7from the cGrowd
And Dmourn all aloneEm7  G  
DMake a promise to Em7no-oGne
DWondering if you'd Em7been worthwGhile
DTurn away from the Em7chattGer
And the Dhungry smilesEm7  G
