[intro]
D5 E5 G5   (3x)

(When you play the D, you should hammer on the A on the 3rd string)

[verse1]
D5                 E5       G5
Line of people to pass you by,
       D5                 E5        G5
Posing sympathy with its whitewash eyes
D5                     E5       G5
Ladies feigning their mourning cries
        D5                 E5       G5
And the men shaking hands

[chorus]
A5       G5
Weigh   Away
A5   G5
Way away
G5       C5
All the pictures in your mind
          G5
As you're passed the thousandth time
           E5          G5
Thousandth photograph

[verse2]
D5               E5    G5
Listen to sympathetic lies
         D5                    E5       G5
As their reasons change under mourning guise
         D5                  E5       G5
With the gentlemen feigning sorrowed sighs
    D5                   E5     G5
And drinking champagne

[chorus]
A5     G5
Weigh Away
A5   G5
Way away
G5          C5
As all the people pass and pose
         G5
You hold back the tears and hold
      E5         G5
On to memories

[verse3]
D5                       E5    G5
Small talk hangs like a dirty cloud
       D5                E5        G5
Saying nothing real but deafening loud
   D5                E5       G5
An urge to run away from the crowd
    D5               E5       G5
And mourn all alone
D5                 E5 G5
Make a promise to no-one
D5                  E5        G5
Wondering if you'd been worthwhile
D5                  E5  G5
Turn away from the chatter
        D5             E5  G5
And the hungry smiles
