Last night I had too much to drink,

 G
Sitting in a club with so many fools
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
 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 sus4  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...
