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