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
Emadd9
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 D

Then I forget
Emadd9
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...
