Last night I had too much to drink  
D
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  
D
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   B flat     A    A flat   G         G flat  F     Em
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

The telephone rings and someone speaks  
D
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

Out of the front door I go  
D
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 flat     A    A flat   G         G flat  F     Em
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
