Way Away by Toad the Wet Sprocket off the "Bread and Circus" CD contributed by Ryan Houlette ([email protected]) another in the "This is how I play it, guys" series you should really hear the original song to get the rhythms right {intro} D Em G (3x) (When you play the D, you should hammer on the A on the 3rd string) {verse1} D Em G Line of people to pass you by, D Em G Posing sympathy with its whitewash eyes D Em G Ladies feigning their mourning cries D Em G And the men shaking hands {chorus} A G Weigh Away A G Way away G C All the pictures in your mind G As you're passed the thousandth time Em G Thousandth photograph {verse2} D Em G Listen to sympathetic lies D Em G As their reasons change under mourning guise D Em G With the gentlemen feigning sorrowed sighs D Em G And drinking champagne {chorus} A G Weigh Away A G Way away G C As all the people pass and pose G You hold back the tears and hold Em G On to memories {verse3} D Em G Small talk hangs like a dirty cloud D Em G Saying nothing real but deafening loud D Em G An urge to run away from the crowd D Em G And mourn all alone D Em G Make a promise to no-one D Em G Wondering if you'd been worthwhile D Em G Turn away from the chatter D Em G And the hungry smiles
